C# Script request: using a calendar control in a datalist within EditItemTemplate
I have tried and failed and searched for info on this with no real satisfactory answer.
I need to use a calendar control within the EditItemTemplate of a DataList. I'm keen to avoid a 'pop-up' calendar so prefer it in the page.
The idea is that there is a form with the following elements
1. A text input field for a date
2. Next to this field is a small calendar icon
3. Beneath this is a calendar control with visibility set to false.
The user clicks the calendar icon and the calendar control appears. Then the user clicks a day and the text box is updated with the selected date and the calendar's visibility is set back to false.
This is easy to do normally, but within a datalist I have problems with the control NOT being recognised.

OK, Ted.
Yes I need help, I've fallen at the first hurdle :(
I've installed but get the error of: System.Web.UI.HtmlControls
I've installed to GAC and added a reference to the code behind (if that's what I'm meant to do) and searched for the answer to this in the forums with no help.
Perhaps you could post a small code snippet of how to implement it?
I'd be most grateful.
I notice you answered another post of mine relating to a similar question which this also solves so I've award points there for you too.
Thanks again.
Chris.

You're dealing with adding a collection of table cells programatically, so you need to be placing each control within the appropriate control. Can you post your code so I can take a look at what's missing in your particular case?

Thanks for your help Ted.
I rebuilt the page and it was fine. Odd.
I think the calendar control could have used a touch more documentation and a few example scripts but I muddled my way through from a bit of trial and error and the some of the forum posts.
Everything working fine and dandy now.
All the best,
Chris
