Hi Erin,

Please try the following code snippet to set Empty in Textbox .

ASPX:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="OrderDate" HeaderText="OrderDate" UniqueName="OrderDate" />

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem edit = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        TextBox txtBox1 = (TextBox)edit["OrderDate"].Controls[0];
        if (txtBox1.Text == "")
        {
            txtBox1.Text = "Empty";
            txtBox1.Attributes.Add("onBlur", "SetMessage(" + txtBox1.ClientID + ");return false;");
            txtBox1.Attributes.Add("onFocus", "ClearMessage(" + txtBox1.ClientID + ");return false;");
        }
    }
}

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function ClearMessage(obj) {
     if (obj.value == "Empty")
         obj.value = "";
    }
  function SetMessage(obj) {
      if (obj.value == "") {
         obj.value = "Empty";
        }
    }
</script>

Thanks,
