Question

I want to use the jQuery default date picker, it’s awesome, but I want to put the trigger icon inside an asp.net textbox on the right side. How can I achieve this? Maybe using a custom asp.net control?

Thank you.

<asp:textbox id="sht" runat="server" />
<script> $('#sht').datepicker();</script>

Look this example here

CSS:

.icon {
background:#FFFFFF url(http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/gakuseisean/ivista-   2/16/Start-Menu-Search-icon.png) no-repeat 4px 4px;
padding:4px 4px 4px 22px;
height:18px;
}

​HTML:

<input type="text" name="sample" class="icon">​
