formatting date in textbox without page refresh

[PushCode]

I'm trying to format a date in a textbox using the OnTextChanged property of an asp:TextBox control. The date gets formatted properly, but it only works on actions that cause the page to refresh, like form buttons or drop-downs.

I need it to change when the textbox loses focus, and I thought that's what the OnTextChanged was supposed to do, but apparently not. Can anyone offer any help with this?

Here's the textbox and c# code:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtFromDate" Width="90px" runat="server" OnTextChanged="txtFromDate_dtFormat" />

protected void txtFromDate_dtFormat(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtFromDate.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(txtFromDate.Text).ToString("dd-MMM-yy");
}

The OnTextChanged event is a server side event, meaning, a postback needs to occur inorder for that event to fire. To do what you want, you need to use javascript's onblur() event.

Thanks! Went the javascript route instead.
