Hi WHich ajax version you are using? if you are using ajax 3.5 then you have to use toolkitscript manager instead of script manager.

hi ram two suggestions 1. First check your CSS named watermarked 2. WaterMarkExtender doesn't work with RequireFieldValidator If you are using RequireFieldValidator then you have to use AjaxCallOutExtender also. like this asp : TextBox ID =txtUSERID runat =server MaxLength =50 Width =120px > asp : TextBox > ajaxToolkit : TextBoxWatermarkExtender ID =TextBoxWatermarkExtendertxtPWD runat =server TargetControlID =txtUSERID WatermarkText =Enter UserID> ajaxToolkit : TextBoxWatermarkExtender > asp : RequiredFieldValidator ID =RequiredFieldValidatorUSerID runat =server ControlToValidate =txtUSERID Display =None EnableViewState =False > asp : RequiredFieldValidator > ajaxToolkit : ValidatorCalloutExtender ID =ValidatorCalloutExtender1 runat =server TargetControlID =RequiredFieldValidatorUSerID /> you can change ValidatorCalloutExtender property according to your need.
