Question

 <input type="text" id="txt_Respondby"  />

I am using JQuery UI DateTimePicker in the input above. it works well.

  <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            $('#txt_Respondby').datetimepicker();
        });
  </script>

I have included the required JS and there is no problem with the calender

Since I want to get the value selected from the calender in server side. I changed the input to runat="server" When I tried to run it the calender wasn’t popping out. How can I access in server side the value selected in the calender.

Answer 1

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            $('input[id$=txt_Respondby]').datepicker();
        });
</script>

Is your page using a Master Page? If so, “ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_” will be appended to your ID’s where the control has runat=”server”. Therefore if you look for id txt_RespondBy it won’t find it because the Id is now ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txt_RespondBy.
