    Hi,
    I have recently updated telerik from Q3 2009 to Q1 2012, and i am facing some problems.
    I have used for example document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain__rdtxtFirstName_text') to get the value of _rdtxtFirstName from client side.
    but now when changed to Q1 2012, the id is showing ctl00_PlaceHolderMain__rdtxtFirstName insted of ctl00_PlaceHolderMain__rdtxtFirstName_text.
    and i have used a css file to set the width of rad textbox and other controls, and now the controls' width is not showing as mentioned in css class.
    How can i fix these issues?

    Hi,

    The experienced issues are expected because the client id's of the controls are not static and could change. When implementing such scenario the supported and recommended way is to use RadScriptBlock and reference the controls as it is shown in the example below. Note that this approach also overcome issues when changes to the layout are made.
    <telerik:RadScriptBlock runat="server">
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var textBoxFirstElement = document.getElementById("<%= rdtxtFirstName.ClientID %>");
        </script>
    </telerik:RadScriptBlock>

    All the best,
