Question

I have used JQuery within my asp.net page. JQuery is working fine. I could see the calendar and can pickup the date. The problem is that when the page is postbacked the value is lost. Am i missing some code? Does anyone of you have the idea?

Below is what i have done –

1) Included the files –

<script src="../scripts/date.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../scripts/jquery.datePicker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link href="../css/DatePicker.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="../css/DateCalendar.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

2) Linked with the textboxes –

jQuery(function($){           
        Date.format = 'mm/dd/yyyy';
        $("#<%=txtAssignDate.ClientID%>").datePicker({startDate:'01/01/1996'});
        $("#<%=txtCloseFileDate.ClientID%>").datePicker({startDate:'01/01/1996'});
        $("#<%=txtInspectionDt.ClientID%>").datePicker({startDate:'01/01/1996'});
});

Answer 1

I found the reason. The problem was because of masking. I have also used the JQuery masking. I found the dates are saved in database but while displaying the dates within text fields it was wipe off the values having single digit because of masking mm/dd/yyyy. For ex. 09/01/2009.
