javascipt call when date is clicked on calendar?

[drew10]

I have a calendar control on my app. When a date is clicked, I would like to open a popup window that displays information about events for that date.

How do I make the javascript call when a date is clicked?

Thanks,

That's a tough one. I'm not really sure if that's even possible to wire your own client side events to the various clicks of the calendar, as that control (and its creation/rendering) is completely abstracted into the calendar control (as opposed to something like a datagrid or others).

However, an alternative may be to go ahead and handle the click event as you normally would, and in that event in your code-behind, write out some client side script to the browser that would display this alert. Yea, the page is going to flicker (post back), but I don't see how else you could accomplish this...

Here's how I did it...

1. Create a Panel object which has the Javascript to popup the window.

2. Set the panel's Visible property to false.

3. Set the calendar's OnSelectionChanged property to a public/protected method of the Page.

4. In that method, set the panel's Visible property to true - this will force the Javascript to execute when the page loads. In order to pass parameters, you may need to create a TextBox and store the date as a temporary value. Do not set the TextBox's Visible property to false because it will not be on the form. You will have to create a <div style=&quot;display:none;&quot;> block to place teh TextBox into - or something similar.

Hope this works. This was sort of the same work-around I had to use. The only other alternative that I saw was creating a new calendar control that inherits the .NET one. ________________________________________
