EmptyMessage appears with AutoFill on in Chrome

[Al]

When testing our new web site in Chrome we found that the EmptyMessage is not clearing when the field is auto filled with information. We have an email field and a password field on a profile page and these fields are being auto filled. The problem is that the EmptyMessage in each of these fields are not cleared.

Hello Al,

There is a bug in the autofill of RadTextBox and it is way complicated to be fixed using the current design of the control. The Browser populate the values without firing any event and the client side object of the input is not aware that the text was changed. This is the reason that the empty message is not updated and the value will be not submitted.
We are working on a fix for this, meanwhile as an alternative you could use RadInputManager with asp:TextBox for your login forms.

Kind regards,
Vasil

has this been fixed?

Hello moegal,

Part of the problem has been fixed. The RadTextBox works with the browser autocomplete, autofill, and use their value for populating. However in some cases the empty message can be filled by the browser inside the textbox. When the browser populates this message, we can't tell that is is the empty text, since the design of the  RadTextBox supports the input to have value the same as the empty message.

I was still having an issue with autofill values not getting registered with RadTextBox controls, so I had to implement the following hack on the submit button's OnClientClicked event.

function ClickAllText() {
    //Hack so autofill from browser triggers events to save the values
    $(':text').focus();
}

v.2013.2.611.40

Can you verify this bug was fixed in V 2013.2.611.45.  We're still having an issue with Chrome and autofill forms.

Hi Derek,

Yes this bug was fixed, but in the Q2 2013 SP1, because of another fixes in RadInputControl, some similar bug occurred that we was not able to catch at that moment. Shawn's workaround works currently.
For the upcoming release, or even in our next internal build the autofill work correct and the value will be submitted correctly.

I have tried Shawn's solution but have not been able to get it to work.  I have code behind on the OnClick event and I have the javascript on the OnClientClicked property.  The javascript never gets executed even if I remove the OnClick event.  Any help will be appreciated.

UPDATE:  Please ignore this post.  I thought I had entered the OnClientClicked property but I only had OnClientClick.
