Hi ,
From all examples I have seen, it looks like you can either access a label control that resides in a User control from server side or client side code.
But I cannot seem to get this to work ?
Is it better to update the User Control clientside or server side ?
I dont know if I should be using a RadtooltipManager instead of the RadToolTip.
The Label inside of the user control is simply the title of the user control UI - "Location Maintenance". or "Type Maintenance" depending on the targetcontrolid selected.
Why cant I "view source" the ID of the RadToolTip when it is displayed ? It seems like if I could do this, I could get a handle on something to getElementby client side ? Maybe the sequence of my client side code is wrong.
Here are snips from my current code ...... (Please see " <%-- START QUICK ADD TOOLTIP --%> ") The user control has an ID of location_qadd

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">

-- <table id="Table2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"

<div>

<b>Maintain Equipment Information </b>

</p>

<b>Name </b>- Give this Equipment a Name. An Example could be "Row Machine".<br>

You may use different Row Machines. So, the first one could be Row Machine 1.

</p>

<b>Location </b>- From your Exercise Location list, choose the location where

this equipment is.

<br> If you have not entered any of your Exercise Locations

, you can go to the Exercise Location page and enter your Exercise Locations.

</p>

<b>Type </b>- From your Type list, choose the Type of Exercise Equipemnt this is.<br>

If you have not entered any of your Types, you can go to the Type Maintenance

page and enter your Types.

<br> Some Examples of Types could be "Cardio Equipment"

, "Hiking Equipment" or "Exercise Clothing".

</p>

<b>Make and Model </b>- You can enter the Make and Manufacturer Model if you

like.

</p>

<b>Gym ID </b>- In some gyms and fitness centers, they put information to identify

that piece of equipment. Most of the time it will be a number.

<br> You can put that

information here.

<br> It helps when a facility has more than one of the same piece of

Equipment.

<br>

Even though Equipment may be the same, sometimes they may be calibrated differently,

or, one may work better than another for you.

<br>

It also helps if you need to remember which Equipment you use in a facility.

<b>Notes</b>- Note any information that is important to you about this Equipment<br>

Hi IQworks,

Basically, if you are only looking to update the label, a client side approach would be best. Posting back to the server, to update just the label may not be the most efficient approach. The only tricky part in this aspect would be locating the label, since it is nested in a few other naming containers. The following article contains a few useful tips on how the client id will be constructed.
I hope this information helps.
