RadTextBox doesn't update text until box is given focus

This is an annoying problem. We were trying to use jQuery on the ClientID of the control to do:

control.val("text message");

Which will not work.  Instead, you need to use the telerik selector:

$find(controlID);

Then you need to use set_value(...);

textBox.set_value("new text message!");
