I have two date pickers and I want to set the second one's date when the user chooses a date in the first one. I have found that if I use the getSelectedDate() method on the first date picker, then the user cannot select a date from the calendar. It just doesn't change. They can still change the date with the keyboard.

The first datepicker looks like:

Code: HTML/ASPX 
<eo:DatePicker ID="Common_Proposed_Eff_DateDatePicker" runat="server" ControlSkinID="None" CssBlock=""  Width="90px"
                DayCellHeight="15" DayCellWidth="31" DayHeaderFormat="Short" DisabledDates="" ClientSideOnChange="Common_Proposed_Eff_Date"
                OtherMonthDayVisible="True" SelectedDates="" TitleFormat="MMMM, yyyy" 
                TitleLeftArrowImageUrl="DefaultSubMenuIconRTL" 
                TitleRightArrowImageUrl="DefaultSubMenuIcon" selecteddatestring='<%# Bind("Common_Proposed_Eff_Date") %>' MinValidDate="1900-01-01" MaxValidDate="2079-06-06" >
                <TodayStyle CssClass="DatePicker5" />
                <SelectedDayStyle CssClass="DatePicker8" />
                <DisabledDayStyle CssClass="DatePicker6" />
                <FooterTemplate>
                    <table border="0" cellPadding="0" cellspacing="5" 
                        style="font-size: 11px; font-family: Verdana">
                        <tr>
                            <td width="30">
                            </td>
                            <td valign="center">
                                <img src="{img:00040401}"></img></td>
                            <td valign="center">
                                Today: {var:today:MM/dd/yyyy}</td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </FooterTemplate>
                <CalendarStyle CssClass="DatePicker1" />
                <TitleArrowStyle CssClass="DatePicker9" />
                <DayHoverStyle CssClass="DatePicker4" />
                <MonthStyle CssClass="DatePicker7" />
                <TitleStyle CssClass="DatePicker10" />
                <DayHeaderStyle CssClass="DatePicker2" />
                <DayStyle CssClass="DatePicker3" />
                <PickerStyle CssClass="DatePicker11" />
            </eo:DatePicker>


The script:

Code: JavaScript 
function Common_Proposed_Eff_Date()
        {
            var ex = eo_GetObject('Common_Proposed_Exp_DateDatePicker');
            var deff = eo_GetObject('Common_Proposed_Eff_DateDatePicker');
            var dt = deff.getSelectedDate();
            //var dt = ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00_AppFormView_Common_Proposed_Eff_DateDatePicker.getSelectedDate();
            //ex.setSelectedDate(dt);
        }


If I comment out the first 'var dt = ...' line then the datepicker works correctly again.

Thanks

Hi,

Try to use setTimeout to delay the call:

Code: JavaScript 
function Common_Proposed_Eff_Date()
{
    setTimeout(
        function()
        {
            var ex = eo_GetObject('Common_Proposed_Exp_DateDatePicker');
            var deff = eo_GetObject('Common_Proposed_Eff_DateDatePicker');
            var dt = deff.getSelectedDate();
            .....
        }, 100);
}


This allows the function to be executed after all internal states for the DatePicker are set.

Thanks!

Thanks
