Styling the Telerik ASP.NET RadGrid textboxes that are used when editing
* This article, and all our great Telerik ASP.NET Grid documentation, Is available on the Telerik ASP.NET Grid menu
Styling a textbox should be the easiest win in web development — until you meet a Telerik RadGrid in edit mode. Suddenly that simple <input> is wrapped in layers of generated markup, skin classes, and RadInput wrappers that seem determined to ignore your CSS. If you’ve ever changed a font size only to watch Telerik politely decline your request, you’re in the right place.
In this article, we’ll walk through how RadGrid actually renders its edit controls, why your styles sometimes don’t “stick,” and the exact CSS selectors that reliably target Telerik’s in-place editors. Whether you’re trying to shrink oversized inputs, match your site’s typography, or just regain control of your UI, you’ll see how to style these textboxes with precision — no hacks, no guesswork, and no fighting the framework.
