Thanks Mark...
I was hoping that ASP.NET had another solution, but if the J in AJAX refers
to JavaScript then JS is not considered legacy. I was having trouble getting
the call to the DatePicker to work correctly. But you already know that
since you were trying to help me with that....which I appreciate.
>Hmm - you might be able to fix it by escaping one of the pairs of quotes
e.g. \'.....\'
Another option, though a bit of a kludge, might be something like:
var objCreateDate =
document.getElementById('<%=txtCreateDate.ClientID %>');
href="show_calendar(objCreateDate)";
I had since discovered a way to get the Calendar control to "pop up" over
the other controls using CSS
Style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute; top:40%; left:30%" and then
changing the visibility attribute upon click of the anchor element. A
discovery for me since I have been programming almost excusively in VB6 and
SQL 2000 for the last 5 years. Lot's of new disciplines to learn for web
applications.
But if I'm even going to consider asynchonous call backs or get proficient
at what used to be called DHTML, then I had better get my JS skills in gear.
Your dedication to this newsgroup is impressive. I tried answering someone
else's question with a code example of my own and found out what type of
effort that takes. Especially when deadlines loom.
OK, back to the drawing board...
Have a good evening,

Not natively... You can use Ajax / Anthem which will allow you to use the
<asp:Calendarcontrol without a postback, but it will still use a
callback which involves a round trip to the server and back...

You are if you are looking for a completely client-side solution...

There isn't one...
Begs the question, though, why not continue to use your JavaScript date
picker...?
