I have an HtmlTextAreaElement which I want to set text.

HtmlTextAreaElement _ControlOfsummary = (HtmlTextAreaElement)_ContainerOfControlOfsummary.ChildElements.Find("summary");

_ControlOfsummary.SetText("Test string");

It is not working.

in server you can do like  this.TextArea1.Value = "text"; ( to access this control @ server-side it should have runat="server")

in client-side - document.getElementById('TextArea1').value='text';

Interesting. I will try to repro this tomorrow and let you know what I find.

Can you try Asp.Net QA api?

Thanks.

I tried this in the office today but I could not get to repro the problem.

I have a page with <textarea id="textarea"></textarea> and my test looks like this:

[WebTestMethod]
    public void TypeOnATextArea()
    {
        HtmlPage page = new HtmlPage("Login.aspx");

        page.Elements.Find("textarea").SetText("foobar");
    }

After running in FireFox I see the text in there. If you are still seeing this problem, could you provide some more details?

I am unable to repro this issue aswell... Can you post a repro please

When switch between EditItemTemplate and ItemTemplate of GridView, sometimes, cannot set to the TextArea.

Refrshing parent HtmlElement will solve the problem.

I see, your last message hints that the problem is that the in memory DOM that LTAF works against was not updated between different renderings of the control.

This is by design, since there is no way for LTAF to know that it should go a retrieve the DOM again, that is why it works when you refresh the element (which tells LTAF to go and grab the latest DOM from the browser).
