To evaluate the date picker feature do I need to have license? The setup didn't install temporary license for this feature.

You do not need a license to evaluate all the features -- You can still use all features without a license. The only difference is without a license the control randomly displays a license warning message.

Somehow the calendar button on the datepicker is disable. I am not able to popup calendar.

It shouldn't have anything to do with the license. Can you try to run our sample app and see if you see the same problem? You can load and run the samples at Start -> Program Files -> EO.Web Controls 2007.1 -> EO.Web Controls for ASP.NET 1.1/2.0 -> Live Demos.

Thanks

I have the same problem. I've installed the EOW controls, dragged a new datepicker onto one of the pages for my project and have done a 'view in browser' and deployment to local IIS server -> clicking on the calendar button doesn't result in any popup. The demo runs and works fine. I've copied the demo code for the control into my project page -> button still doesn't work.

Any ideas? Would really like to have a reason to buy and use this control (at least).

Hi Mike & nrajabali,

It seems that the script file used by the control is not being correctly rendered. Try to copy eo_web.ashx to the root of the your web application and see if it works. If you do not see eo_web.ashx in your project folder, you can find it in your installation folder.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks

More info - the DatePicker works fine in a standalone .aspx page, or as part of my Master page but *not* as part of the content of a Master page. :^(

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the update. That looks like a bug then. We will look into it and get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks

That file is already present (checked both in project folder and destination for local IIS server).

Hopefully the not working in the content part of a master page helps. :^)

Hi Mike,

We just tried to use DatePicker in a content page and it works fine here. Would you mind to post a sample project that can reproduce the problem? You can use the "Attach" button to attach a file to your post.

Thanks for your help.

Hmmm .... I created a new project with one page using a master and one not, a DatePicker in each, and *both* work. SO there must be something about my main project / configuration that is causing the problem!

I will see how simple I can make my problematic project - unless you have any other ideas meanwhile? Thanks!

Ok - I removed the reference to the .css file in my current project and the DatePicker started working. Will see if I can sus out the .css issue that is causing the DatePicker button to not work.

Thank you Mike. Please let us know when you find out what caused it. We are really scratching our head on this one. :)

Ok - it seems to be a combination of our .css file and master page. There's a cut-down version of the project here:
http://prophecysound.com/temp/testeow.zip
Adding the .css file into a new project doesn't cause the error; using the master page version without the .css file reference doesn't cause the error.

In the project above:
- default.aspx -> page with no master page that has DatePicker, no problem
- defaultfrommaster.aspx -> page with master page that has DatePicker, demonstrates problem

The guy that does our .css files doesn't have any ideas, neither do I. Sorry if it turns out to be any problem caused by us, but we'll buy this component (at least) as long as we can get it working! :)

Thank you. Mike

Hi Mike,

Try to remove position:absolute in your body rule:

body
{
color: #000000;
padding: 0px;
font: 11px verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
white-space: normal;
background: url(Images/portalbg4.jpg) #cccccc fixed no-repeat left top;
left: 0px;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
}

We are still trying to work on the code on our side and hopefully we can have an update build that copes with this situation seamlessly.

Thanks

Brilliant - it's working now. Thanks. :^) I'm not sure a lack of absolute positioning is a problem for our current work anyway, although obviously it'd be nice not to have to make that change.

One purchase coming up! Great support.

We have already changed our code to work with this situation and we will post an update shortly. So if you can wait for a little while you won't need to make any change to your code.
