Refresh parent page after window selection

[russellwight]

Here is my objective:  I have a RadTextBox that opens a RadWindow when it receives focus.  The RadWindow contains a RadGrid, which allows the user to select a row.  Upon selection, the RadWindow closes and returns an a variable to the parent page.  I then take the id that is returned, run a query to get a string value and place that string value in the RadTextBox.  Everything is working fine until I try to put the string value in the RadTextBox.  I can get the return value from the RadWindow and even place it in a label (see below).

function refresh(id, name) {
                var lblEmployeeId = document.getElementById("<%= lblEmployeeId.ClientID %>");
                lblEmployeeId.innerHTML = id;
                var rtbFirstName = document.getElementById("<%= rtbFirstName.ClientID %>");
                rtbFirstName.value = name;

            }

The page will display the value for lblEmployeeId when the RadWindow closes, but not for rtbFirstName.  However, if I click in rtbFirstName, the value will be displayed.  I need it to display the same way as the lblEmployeeId.  Please advise.

Hello wight4256,

You need to get a reference to the RadTextBox object with $find() -  getElementByID will return the hidden input only. After that you can set the value with the set_value() method:

var rtbFirstName= $find('<%= rtbFirstName.ClientID %>');
rtbFirstName.set_value(name);
