RadTextBox in Template not referenced in client side

[Li Zhou]

I have a RadTextBox in a CreateUserWizard template.  I tried to use following code to reference it in client side:

var tb = $find("<%= UserName.ClientID %>"); 
But I always get null.

Is there any way to reference the RadTextbox in javascript?

Here is the code in the page:
<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="C" runat="server">
        <WizardSteps>
            <asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="Step1" runat="server">
                <contenttemplate>
                    <telerik:RadTextbox ID="UserName" Label="Username:" runat="server" MaxLength="15" />
                     ........
                </contenttemplate>
            </asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
</WizardSteps>
</asp:CreateUserWizard

Hi,

I hope the following idea will work for you.

aspx:

    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="UserName" Label="Username:" runat="server" MaxLength="15">
        <ClientEvents OnLoad="OnLoad" />
    </telerik:RadTextBox>

javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var textboxUserName;
    function OnLoad(sender, args) {
        textboxUserName = sender;
    }
    // 'textboxUserName' is client object of the RadTextBox UserName
</script>
