For some reason I can’t use runat=server as an attribute for the input tag

  • 0

For some reason I can’t use runat='server' as an attribute for the input tag in order for the jQuery to display the image button and work. Is something wrong without runat='server'? It works fine. And I want the format to be ‘yyyy/mm/dd’ and also I need it for the server because this is where I check to see if the date manually entered is a valid date and that it matches the accepted format. I really want to use an asp:button but since I can’t use runat='server' attribute I don’t know what to do since that is required for asp controls

<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>    $(document).ready(function(){     $('#datepicker').datepicker({ showOn: 'both',                                    buttonImage: '/Content/img/calendar.gif',                                    buttonImageOnly: true });   });   </script>

  1. it changes your id from ‘#datepicker’ to ‘form1_ctl01_ctl05_datepicker’ or something when you use runat=’server’

    EDIT: For a solution, you could pick it up based on css class rather than ID

    <input id='datepicker' runat='server' class='datepicker' />  $(document).ready(function(){ $('.datepicker').datepicker({ showOn: 'both',                                buttonImage: '/Content/img/calendar.gif',                                buttonImageOnly: true }); });
