Hi. When we use the old version of telerik and write code like this

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="RadGridDocuments" AllowPaging="True"
    Width="100%" Height="100%"
    <PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" HorizontalAlign="Right" AlwaysVisible="True" />
    <ClientSettings EnableAlternatingItems="True" EnableRowHoverStyle="True">
ResizeGridOnColumnResize="True" />
    </ClientSettings>
    <MasterTableView TableLayout="Auto" >
          <Columns>
            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="<%$Resources:Resource, Document_Name%>" UniqueName="DocumentName" SortExpression="DocumentName">
                <ItemStyle Wrap="False" />
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <telerik:RadButton ID="LinkButtonDocumentName" ButtonType="LinkButton" CssClass="LinkButton" runat="server" ToolTip='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DocumentName")%>'
                                       Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DocumentName")%>' />
                </ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

</Columns>

</MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

that generate radbutton with type linkbutton to anchor element

<a id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_RadGridUploadedFiles_ctl00_ctl04_LinkButtonUploadedFileName" title="testUpload" class="RadButton RadButton_Default rbLinkButton LinkButton" href="/AppNew/FileManagement/ViewerModel.aspx?source_id=1efdf640-793d-434f-a41a-fcbc263a57f6&viewer_code=ecodomus&facility_id=2fb3a9f8-da52-4d71-aa98-13c526a5eb50"><span class="rbText">testUpload (EcoDomus Model Viewer)</span><input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_RadGridUploadedFiles_ctl00_ctl04_LinkButtonUploadedFileName_ClientState" name="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_RadGridUploadedFiles_ctl00_ctl04_LinkButtonUploadedFileName_ClientState" type="hidden" autocomplete="off"></a>

but last version of telerik generate a span

<span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_RadGridUploadedFiles_ctl00_ctl04_LinkButtonUploadedFileName" title="house" class="RadButton RadButton_Default rbLinkButton LinkButton rbHovered" tabindex="0"><span class="rbText">house (EcoDomus Model Viewer)</span><input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_RadGridUploadedFiles_ctl00_ctl04_LinkButtonUploadedFileName_ClientState" name="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_RadGridUploadedFiles_ctl00_ctl04_LinkButtonUploadedFileName_ClientState" type="hidden" autocomplete="off"></span>

I want anchor element, how can I make telerik to generate the correct markup?

Hello Alex,

This is a breaking change introduced in Q1 2013, so that the RadButton is HTML5 compliant now. You can find more details on the matter in this forum post - http://www.telerik.com/forums/breaking-change-since-q1-2013-radbutton-s-rendering-is-html5-compliant

That being said you cannot change the rendering of the button, more over it would not be HTML5 compliant.
