When attempting to add a simple unordered list template to a RadComboBox with EnableLoadOnDemaned=true, I get this javascript error: 'attributes' is null or not an object.
<HeaderTemplate><ul></HeaderTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <li><%# Container.Text %></li> </ItemTemplate> <FooterTemplate></ul></FooterTemplate>
Also tried accessing the DataItem property directly with the exact same result:
<HeaderTemplate><ul></HeaderTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <li><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name") %></li> </ItemTemplate> <FooterTemplate></ul></FooterTemplate>1 Answer, 1 is accepted

Hi Msigman,
The reason your are getting this error is because with the following declaration provided you are messing the combobox item rendering. The first problem is that header template and footer templates are placed in different divs then the items of the combobox. Thus putting ul open tag in the header is absolutely useless since the browser is automatically adding the closing tag. On other hand it is ignoring the closing </ul> tag in the footer template and it;s empty. The error occurs since the text of each item is enclosed in <li></li> tags and as you add another set of <li></li> tags is causing a confusion for the browser and this is how the error is reproduced. If you still want to have a list looking template for the combobox items , you have to add both ul and li tags for each item:
