Client side object trouble

[Ben]

I'm trying to create an instance of the client side object for a panelbar and it keeps telling me that the method does not exist.  I'm using the following code.

                var panelbar = $find("<%=RadPanelBar1.ClientID%>");
                var item = panelbar._findItemByText("PATIENT IS GOOD MATCH");
                item.set_text("New Text");


<cc1:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server" Skin="WebBlue"
            Width="500px" ExpandMode="SingleExpandedItem" style="text-align: left;">
            <ExpandAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="400" />
            <CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="300" />
            
            <Items>
            
                <cc1:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="PATIENT IS GOOD MATCH" />

.........



thanks for you help,

Ben

Hello Ben,

The code below works just fine on our side. Let us know what's different in your case.

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadScriptManager>

<script type="text/javascript">
function setText()
{
var panelbar = $find("<%= RadPanelBar1.ClientID%>");
var item = panelbar.findItemByText("PATIENT IS GOOD MATCH");
if(item)
{
    item.set_text("New Text");
}
}
</script>

<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">
<CollapseAnimation Type="None" Duration="100"></CollapseAnimation>
<Items>
    <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="PATIENT IS GOOD MATCH">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Child RadPanelItem 1">
        </telerik:RadPanelItem>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Child RadPanelItem 2">
        </telerik:RadPanelItem>
    </Items>
    </telerik:RadPanelItem>
</Items>
<ExpandAnimation Type="None" Duration="100"></ExpandAnimation>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="setText()" /></p>
</form>

I just tried it on FireFox and it worked yet on IE7 it throw a javascript error:

Error: 'null' is null or not an object

on this line:
var item = panelbar._findItemByText("PATIENT IS GOOD MATCH");


Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

We tried to repro the issue on our side using the latest version of the control, but to no avail. I think it will be best if you can open a support ticket and send us a simple running project (incl. CSS, images, DB backup and so on) demonstrating the problems. In that way we can reproduce and pinpoint the problems you're facing on our side, understand the logic of your application and provide a solution.
