Hi Tom,
I see this question pop up on the newsgroup from time to time so I gave it
a go.
The code below works but sometimes needs 2 button clicks to fire a valid
date combination to the server.
I'll track that issue if I have time or let me know if you solved it.
Some things I found out while coding :
- Validators can't reference hiddenfields for validation. I had to use textboxes
with a display:none to let the validators do its work
- The CampareValidator in Date mode doest support the time component (1/1/2000
is ok but 1/1/2000 17:18 is not)
The below code uses my local for dates which is d/m/y.
