    Hi Mattias,

    No, the code example you were quoting wouldn't work if you had a TextBox in an INamingContainer.  We'd like to make some improvements for scenarios like this in the future, but for now there is a workaround available.  You can programatically modify the animations on the server like this: 
    <%@ Page Language="C#" %>
    <%@ Register Assembly="AtlasControlToolkit" Namespace="AtlasControlToolkit" TagPrefix="atlasToolkit" %>

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <script runat="server">
    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    {
    base.OnLoad(e);

    // Set the ConditionScript property of the OnClick Animation
    MyAnimations.OnClick.Properties["ConditionScript"] = string.Format("( $('{0}').value == '' )", txtName.ClientID);

    // Set the AnimationTarget property of the OnClick Animation's first child
    MyAnimations.OnClick.Children[0].Properties["AnimationTarget"] = txtName.ClientID;
    }
    </script>
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
    <head runat="server"><title>Test Page</title></head>
    <body><form runat="server"><div>
    <atlas:ScriptManager id="ScriptManager" runat="server" />
    Name: <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server" /><br />
    <asp:Button ID="btnValidate" runat="server" Text="Animate If Empty" OnClientClick="return false;" />

    <atlasToolkit:AnimationExtender ID="MyExtender" runat="server">
    <atlasToolkit:AnimationProperties ID="MyAnimations" TargetControlID="btnValidate">
    <Animations>
    <OnClick>
    <Condition ConditionScript="/* To be filled in by the server - we'll default to false */ false">
    <Color Duration="1" StartValue="#FFFFFF" EndValue="#FF0000"
    Property="style" PropertyKey="backgroundColor" />
    </Condition>
    </OnClick>
    </Animations>
    </atlasToolkit:AnimationProperties>
    </atlasToolkit:AnimationExtender>
    </div></form></body>
    </html>
    Thanks,
    Ted
