Why has radtextbox no text and asp textbox has some?

[adi]

Hi,

I have a issue with the radtextbox control. I have some placed inside an usercontrol. On my parent page, I have a button which when clicked call a method in my usercontrol that reads the text properties of the input controls. The property is empty if I use the radtextbox. If I switch to the asp.net version I can use the property values. What I haven't understood?

Thnx,
Adi

Hi Adi,

I tried to implement a similar scenario on my end and I was able to get the value of the RadTextBox as shown below.

ASPX:

 <uc1:WebUserControl ID="WebUserControl1" runat="server" />

        <input id="Button3" type="button" value="GetText"  onclick="GetText();" />

JS:

<script type="text/javascript" >

function GetText()
{
  var txtbx=document.getElementById("WebUserControl1_RadTextBox1_text");
  alert(txtbx.value);

}

</script>

ASCX:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="WebUserControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebUserControl" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server"  Text="Hello" >
</telerik:RadTextBox>

Thanks
Shinu.
