Setting controls values

[Mike]

Hi,

I am developing a JavaScript calendar control. I want my user control to
expose a property that returns the value of the selected calendar date. I
have an "input" control that displays the selected date. I also tried to add
a Label server-side control, but I am unable to set its value through
Javascript.

<form id="mainForm" name="mainForm" action="" method="post">
<p>
<input id="fullDate" type="text" disabled maxLength="9" size="9"
name="fullDate">
<input id="showit" onclick="showCalendar(event)" type="button">
</p>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server" Visible="false">Label</asp:Label>
</form>

function chooseDate(day, month, year) {
document.getElementById("fullDate").innerText = day + "/" + month + "/" +
year;
document.getElementById("Label1").innerText = day + "/" + month + "/" +
year; //fails
hide("calendar");
}

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks
Mike

Hi, Mike,

Setting the property Visible to false prevents the control from being
rendered to the page output (that's the case with Label1).

I'd change the <input type=text"> with an <asp:textbox runat="server"
readonly="true"/> and read the value on the postback.

Hope this helps
