Telerik RadToolTip provides a flexible client-side API that allows you to easily change the configuration in the browser

  1. Getting the RadToolTip client-side object:

    var tooltip = $find("RadToolTip1");

  2. Once you get the client-side object of RadToolTip, you can use the hide, show functions to hide or show the RadToolTip. Example:

    var tooltip = $find("RadToolTip1");
    tooltip.hide();
    tooltip.show();

  3. You can use the get_contentElement, set_contentElement functions to obtain a reference to the HTML element, holding the content of the RadToolTip or to set this element. Example:

    var tooltip = $find("RadToolTip1");
    var contentElement = tooltip.get_contentElement();
Click inside the Languages ListBox to see the available languages, from which you can choose. In order to view what information needs to be entered in the Address textbox, click in it. Push the Submit button to submit the form. Check the source code to see how the actions are implemented. See also the Client Side Events example.
