Clientside. get_text() is returning empty string

[Sunil]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my radcombobox (populated with checkboxes) to show what items are selected. Its similar to this demo:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/functionality/templates/defaultcs.aspx

However, my js code (copied from the above is simply returning empty strings with the .get_text() method.

Can anyone shed some light on why its returning nothing?

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox_User_Type" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Select Users" HighlightTemplatedItems="true"
            AllowCustomText="true" Width="225px">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem
                    ImagePath="../Images/OnTime_Fkeys/Access Control.png"
                    Text_="Employee">
                </telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem
                    ImagePath="../Images/OnTime_Fkeys/Access Control.png"
                    Text_="Visitor">
                </telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
            </Items>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <div onclick="StopPropagation(event)" style="vertical-align: middle">
                    <asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chk1" Checked="false"/>
                    <asp:Label runat="server" ID="Label1" AssociatedControlID="chk1">
                        <img src='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "Attributes['ImagePath']") %>' alt="" style="vertical-align:text-top"/>
                        <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "Attributes['Text_']") %>
                    </asp:Label>
                </div>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:RadComboBox>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            String script1 = "" +
                    "function StopPropagation(e) " +
                    "{" +
                        "e.cancelBubble = true;" +
                        "if (e.stopPropagation) " +
                        "{" +
                            "e.stopPropagation();" +
                        "}" +
                    "}";

            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "LMP_Stop_Prop", script1, true);

            ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page.GetType(),"324nvik",
                "<script src=\"../Javascript/Live_Monitor/Live_Monitor.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>");

            for (int i = 0; i < RadComboBox_User_Type.Items.Count; i++)
            {
                RadComboBox_User_Type.Items[i].DataBind();

            }

            foreach (RadComboBoxItem item in RadComboBox_User_Type.Items)
            {
                CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)item.FindControl("chk1");
                chk.Attributes.Add("onclick", "onCheckBoxClick(this)");
            }

        }
    }

Live_Monitor.js

function onCheckBoxClick(chk) {

    var combo = $find('RadComboBox_User_Type');
    var text = "";
    var values = "";
    var items = combo.get_items();

    for (var i = 0; i < items.get_count(); i++) {
        var item = items.getItem(i);
        var chk1 = $get("RadComboBox_User_Type" + "_i" + i + "_chk1");

        if (chk1.checked) {
            text += item.get_text() + ",";
            values += item.get_value() + ",";
        }
    }

    text = removeLastComma(text);
    values = removeLastComma(values);


    if (text.length > 0) {
        combo.set_text(text);
    }
    else {
        combo.set_text("Select Users");
    }
}

function removeLastComma(str) {
    return str.replace(/,$/, "");
}

Anyone any ideas????

Thanks,

Sunny

Hello Sunil,

You should use the following:

item.get_attributes().getAttribute("Text_")

instead of

item.get_text()
