The content of a RapidSpellWInlineTextBox (used for dynamic error highlighting) is settable/gettable on the server through the .Text property.

To SET the text on the client side requires a couple of extra lines beyond the usual.

eg.

Suppose we want to set the text on the click of a button;

<input type=button onclick='setTB("<%=RapidSpellWInlineTextBox1.ClientID%>")'>

this function gets the text box instance and set's the .value property, it then calls updateIframe on the text box object to update the view to the user.

function setTB(id){
    var tb = document.getElementById(id);
    tb.value="some new text";
    var tbs = rsw_getTBSFromID(id);
    tbs.updateIframe();
}

To GET the text from a text box, just access it as usual.

eg;

var tb = document.getElementById(id);
var content = tb.value;
