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.
