radTextbox doesn't hold value in service side code

[dhuss]

I have a radtextbox that I am updating the text with JavaScript (clientside). The new value shows on the page but if I access the control server side, it shows the old value. This control is not being reloaded server side.

JavaScript: this will set the new value which shows up on the web page

document.Form1.txtTotalCharge_text.value = document.Form1.txtHdTotalCharge.value

If I access txtTotalCharge.text on the server side, the old value shows up. The asp:textbox doesn't have this issue. Can anyone tell me how to fix this.

Hello,

In order to set text to RadTextBox client-side, it is needed to access the client object of the textbox and use set_value() method as it is shown below:

<telerik:RadCodeBlock runat="server" ID="RadCodeBlock1">
      <script type="text/javascript">
          function loaded() {
              txt = $find("<%= tb1.ClientID %>");
              txt.set_value("test");

          }
      </script>
  </telerik:RadCodeBlock>

Additionally, you can set AutoPostBack="true" to access this value server-side.

<telerik:RadTextBox runat="server" ID="tb1" AutoPostBack="true">
        <ClientEvents OnLoad="loaded" />
    </telerik:RadTextBox>

Kind regards,
