    The 'Columns' property on all my RadInputBox's are no longer working. I have just upgraded to the latest version. I have a huge application and cannot override per page. All the text boxes on the page are now the same size. What do I need to do in order to have the 'columns' property working again.

    Thanks,
    Susan

    Hello,

    Since Q3 2012 we changed the default behavior of RadInput control. You can control its width as use "width" property of the control. The width could be controlled also by Columns property, but it is necessary to set width to auto with css rule as it is shown below:
    .customStyle
          {
              width: auto !important;
          }

    So do I have to apply this style to every textbox in my application OR change every textbox in my application to use width instead of columns, or is there a way to apply this globally. My application is huge and this would take a long time to accomplish if I have to make a change to every textbox.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    You can use the following css rule, which will override the width of all textboxes on the page:

    <style type="text/css">
         html body .riSingle .riTextBox, html body .riSingle .riTextBox[type="text"]
        {
            width: auto !important;
        }
    </style>

    When I do that, my 'required' (from the required field validator) shows up in the middle of the textbox. It is no longer right after the textbox itself. I have attached an image.

    <tr>

     <td class="NormalPadding" width="15%">Donation Purpose<font color="red">*</font></td>

     <td>

     <telerik:RadTextBox ID="DonationPurpose" Skin="Web20" MaxLength="50" Columns="30" runat="server" TabIndex="1" ToolTip="A short description of the donation purpose"/>&nbsp;

     <asp:requiredfieldvalidator ID="rfvDonationPurpose" cssclass="Normal" controltovalidate="DonationPurpose" errormessage="Required." display="dynamic" runat="server" /></td></tr>

    Hello,

    I tested the provided code, but everything works as expected on my end. Attached, you can find the project, which I used for testing. Please review it and let me know what I am missing.

    You have no 'button' on the page. If you add a button to your example and click it, the 'Required' shows up in the middle of the textbox, not at the end.

    Hi Susan,

    You could style the  RequiredFieldValidator to some 5% to the left and it should work as expected.
    aspx:
    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvDonationPurpose" CssClass="Normal" ControlToValidate="DonationPurpose"
    ErrorMessage="Required." Display="dynamic" runat="server"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
    CSS
    <style type="text/css">
    .Normal
    {
       margin-left:5%;
    }
    </style>

    Thanks
    Princy
