Question

I’m using the following JavaScript Control:

http://www.ama3.com/anytime/

How do I get the selected date in the control? So I can pass it to a postback page?
I tried finding it, but I’m just not very good at JavaScript 🙁

Which function do I have to call?

// Initialization
$(document).ready(function () {
    //alert("welcome");
    $("#DateTimeDemo").AnyTime_picker(
  { format: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%i: %E",
      formatUtcOffset: "%: (%@)",
      hideInput: true,
      placement: "inline"
  });

// Asp.net code
<input type="text" id="DateTimeDemo" style="background-color:Green;" />

I assume the code will be something like this:

 var x = getBlaBla();

Where x is something that I can use to pass to C# for postback info. I think I’ll have to use JQuery to select the object I’ll be taking the date out of.

Edit:
Okay I think I have to use something like this:

$("#DateTimeDemo").AnyTime_current(g, k);

what do the g and the k stand for? What do I have to pass?

As Joe Johnson earlier commented, you will likely want to attach an event handler. With this method, whenever your input changes within the DateTimeDemo field, you can do something with that value.

$(function() {
    $("#DateTimeDemo").change(function() {
    var dt = $("#DateTimeDemo").val();
    alert(dt);
    // do something with dt. 
    });
});
