Change EmptyMessage, BackGround change from javascript

[Naresh Goradara]

Hi,
I am using Rad Ajax Control Q2 2010 form development.
I want to change RadTextBox's EmptyMessage from javascript. Can I?
And Can I change its background image from javascript too?

Please suggest a way to change it from javascript.

Best Regards,
Naresh Goradara

Hello Naresh,

The EmptyMessage can be changed client-side by using the RadTextBox API:

RadTextBox styles can be changed on the client as shown at the bottom of this article:

Hello Naresh,

The following client code will help you in setting the EmptyMessage from client side.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function setEmpty() {
        var input = $find('<%= RadTextBox1.ClientID %>');
        input.set_emptyMessage("Search Content here...");
        input.updateDisplayValue();
    }
</script>

I hope the documentation will help you in changing the appearance style of RadInput controls on the client:
