[Solved] TextBoxWatermarkExtender does not work when TextBox in RadAjaxManager

[Michael]

Hi just a simple one...

I have a TextBox and I want to put a ajaxtoolkit:TextBoxWatermarkExtender on it. It works, however when I put the TextBox ID in the RadAjaxManager the watermark does not work anymore.

Anyone know how to fix??

Hi Michael,

Could you please try adding the TextBoxWatermarkExtender control as updated control in the ajax manager settings anywhere the TextBox is added as ajax updated control and see if it makes any difference?

Let me know how if goes.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the additional details provided.

I followed your scenario, prepared a sample project and was able to replicate the issue. However I was able to overcome it by wrapping the TextBox and the TextBoxWaterMarkExtender into a single ASP:Panel and ajaxify it via RadAjaxManager instead of each control separately.
Please find attached a sample project illustrating the suggested solution.

Additionally, you could use RadInput or RadInputManager to achieve the watermark effect by setting the EmptyMessage property.

I hope this helps.
