Set text from the client side.

Is thre a way to set the search box text from the client side?

Hi,

Yes, you can use the client-side set_emptyMessage property. Here is example:

function pageLoad() {
      $find("SearchBox1").set_emptyMessage("Foo");
}

Hi Genady,

Thanks for your reply.

"set_emptyMessage" method, doesn't do what I am trying to achive. 
I'd like to have something like set_text or set_value method to emulate/initiate user input.

I see that there is an "input" control inside the search box.  That's where I want to access.

Thanks,
AC

Got it working:

 

var rsBox = document.getElementById("RadSearchBox1");

 

var rsInput = rsBox.getElementsByTagName("input");

rsInput[0].value = "foo"
