Hi all,

I am using the RadInputManager on a webform. I have a textbox i want to control. It must have content, so, I have set the TextBoxSettings attributes like this:

EmptyMessage="type.." Validation-IsRequired="true"

If I click the textbox, the "type.." text disappears, and I can type in my content - no problems.
But when I want the cursor to be in the control set in page load, the "type.." text remains, and when I type "123 " in the box, it gets like this: "123 type..". And it's with the gray "disabled" look.

I have tried to write the javascript my self, in stead of using the Page's SetFocus method. Same behaviour occures.

Any one having experience with this issue?

Kind regards
Morten

Hi Morten,

One option to make it work is if you are using RadAjaxManager, to focus the control via its FocusControl server-side method:
RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(TextBox1);

Alternatively you can focus the input client-side like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
    function pageLoad()
    {
        $find("RadInputManager1").get_targetInput("TextBox1").focus();
        // or
        $get("TextBox1").focus();
    }
</script>

Let us know if that helps.

Kind regards,
