Enabling Server Controls thru Client Side events

[AgentM]

Hi,

I have a client side script on the onclick event of a server control button. The script should enable or disable a Calendar control.
Can this be done? Can a client side script enable or disable a server-side control?

Any help appreciated.

It sure can be done..
Say the name of your server control is "testcontrol", then the code will be like this..

document.getElementById("testcontrol&quot.disabled = true;

Thank you very much.

I tried doing that, I am making a panel control visible which has a calendar and a button inside, it gives me an error
"document.getElementID("....) is null or not an object"

Any ideas why?

Thank you.

Is that a type mistake in the function...should be
"getElementById" ..not "getElementId"..

see if that works

Yes it is a typo.

I am now just trying to make a Calendar control show and hide using a client-side onclick event on a button.

Any ideas, please let me know.
Thank you.

You'd want to slap a JavaScript event on a control via Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock() and Control.Attributes.Add(). I can't help you on the specifics of JavaScript.

Thank you.

I tried doing that, but how do you refrence a Calendar control in the client script? The document.getElementById doesn't seem to work.

Maybe I am missing something, .Net should have something for this.
