I’m having this issue where I need to enable datepicker function on asp:textbox after

  • 0

I’m having this issue where I need to enable datepicker function on asp:textbox after I’m changing my asp:dropdownlist choice over certain index.

This is my asp:dropdownlist control where I did assign the value from code behind programmatically :

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlHORating" runat="server" CssClass="ctlControl" />

But here is the example how it will looks like later :

            <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlHORating" runat="server" CssClass="ctlControl">
                <asp:ListItem Value="OK" Text="6" />
                <asp:ListItem Value="OK" Text="5" />
                <asp:ListItem Value="OK" Text="4" />
                <asp:ListItem Value="OK" Text="3" />
                <asp:ListItem Value="WORST" Text="2" />
                <asp:ListItem Value="WORST" Text="1" />
                <asp:ListItem Value="WORST" Text="0" />
            </asp:DropDownList>

I did re-set the javascript function on my asp:dropdownlist control on my code behind :

ddlHORating.Attributes.Add("onchange", "JavaScript: ICRESDateEnabler();");

This my asp:textboxt control which supposed to get datepicker function enabled on it once I choose the item in my dropdownlist, currently the datepicker function will only enabled through it CssClass if the value is “watermarkText”, it need to be change to “watermarkDate” :

<asp:TextBox ID="txtICRESRevDate" runat="server" CssClass="watermarkText" Text="Select a date from calendar button only" Tooltip="Select a date from calendar button only" />

This is the script I use :

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function ICRESDateEnabler() {
        var ddl = document.getElementById('<%= ddlHORating.ClientID %>');
        var ddlID = ddl.selectedIndex;
        alert("Selected Index is : " + ddl.selectedIndex);
        if (parseInt(ddlID) >= 4) {
            document.getElementById('<%= txtICRESRevDate.ClientID %>').className = "watermarkText";
            alert("It's working");//Testing
        }
        else {
            document.getElementById('<%= txtICRESRevDate.ClientID %>').className = "watermarkDate";
            alert("Failed!");//Testing
        }
    });
</script>

My script will keep running & prompt alert “Failed” no matter what is the choice.
It suppose to have datepicker icon on the right of my asp:textbox but it won’t.

Can someone point me into a right direction to achieve this?

UPDATED :

I manage to change the classname for asp:textbox now by changing ddlID into parseInt(dllID) but still unable to get the datepicker icon visible

                {
                    ddlHORating.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
                    Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Alert", "alert('Data not available in Rating dropdown list!');", true);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Alert", "alert('Error at populate Rating value : " + ex.Message + "');", true);
    }
}

    ddlHORating.Attributes.Add("onchange", "JavaScript: ICRESDateEnabler();");

    I think I close to what I’m looking for now.
    I did some changes & now I can get the datepicker automatically popup!
    See my updated script below : * need to adjust a bit on the date format later to “DD-MMMM-YYYY”

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function ICRESDateEnabler() {
            var ddl = document.getElementById('<%= ddlHORating.ClientID %>');
            var ddlID = ddl.selectedIndex;
            alert("Selected Index is : " + ddl.selectedIndex + "\nAnd it's really : " + ddlID + "\nAfter convert to int is : " + parseInt(ddlID));
            if (parseInt(ddlID) <= 26) {
                document.getElementById('<%= txtICRESRevDate.ClientID %>').className = "watermarkText";
                alert("It's working, ICRES rating is below 13E & class is : \n" + document.getElementById('<%= txtICRESRevDate.ClientID %>').className);//Testing
                $(document.getElementById('<%= txtICRESRevDate.ClientID %>')).value = "Select a date from calendar button only";
            }
            else {
                document.getElementById('<%= txtICRESRevDate.ClientID %>').className = "watermarkDate";
                alert("It's working!, ICRES rating is 13E above & class is : \n" + document.getElementById('<%= txtICRESRevDate.ClientID %>').className);//Testing
                $(document.getElementById('<%= txtICRESRevDate.ClientID %>')).datepicker().datepicker("show");
            }
        });
    </script>
    

    See picture below :
