I want to set the default color for the Kendo Editor's foreColor tool to "black". By default, the color is always "white".
DontVoteMeDown has a great answer! However as soon as you click the dropdown arrow on the colorPicker, you lose the currently selected color. You could save the current color to a variable and reload it each time the palette is opened. Then update the selected color on change:
var curForeColor = "#000000";
$("#editor").kendoEditor({
tools: [{
name: "foreColor",
}]
});
var colorpicker = $("div.k-i-foreground-color").data("kendoColorPicker");
colorpicker.value(curForeColor);
colorpicker.bind("change", function(){
curForeColor = colorpicker.value();
});
colorpicker.bind("open", function(){
colorpicker.value(curForeColor);
});
