Hi DK,

I strongly recommend getting familiar with the RadTextBox client side API first:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/input_clientsidebasics.html

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/input_clientsideradtextbox.html


Please use the following Javascript code:

Sys.Application.add_load(myfunction);

function myfunction()
{
       var txtDate = $find("txtDate");
       txtDate.set_value("Date from javascript");
}

On a side note, for dates we recommend using RadDateInput instead of RadTextBox.

In this case you can use the set_selectedDate() method, which accepts a Javascript Date object as a parameter.
