RadTextBox does not work with Blueprint CSS Framework

[Robert]

If I put a RadTextBox control on a page which has the Blueprint CSS framework attached the textbox does not take on the proper style. The standard asp.net textbox and regular HTML input controls work perfectly. It seems that the RadTextBox is adding additional css styling which is interfering.

Hello Robert,

RadTextBox (as all other RadControls) by default uses a Skin, which determines its appearance. If you want to use a CSS framework to apply styles to RadTextBoxes, then set an empty skin :

<telerik:RadTextBox  runat="server"  Skin=""  />

Thanks. But what's not helpful in this situation is that the control is still injecting styles into the page. It is setting the width of the textbox which is not what I want. I know it can easily be overridden but can you explain why it is doing this?

This is what I see generated from the control ("title" class is added by me)

<input type="text" style="width: 125px;" class="riTextBox riEnabled title" name="RadTextBox2_text" id="RadTextBox2_text" size="20"/>

Hi Robert,

All RadInput controls have a default width by design. It is needed in order to ensure consistent width for all types of textboxes in their different rendering modes (which depend on the enabled functionality, e.g. buttons and labels).
