ontextchanged event not firing

[MaddogC]

I have a text box that contains a date of birth. Next to the text box I have a button that opens a calendar popup to pick the date of birth. This is done in Javascript.

The popup window returns a value to the main window thus:

Link.Attributes.Add("href", [String].Format("JavaScript:window.opener.document.{0}.value = '{1:d}'; window.close();", Request.QueryString("field"), e.Day.Date))

My problem is that when the value in the date of birth text box changes, I want a box below that displays the age to update. The OntextChanged event is not firing though.

The Age box is updated correctly if I type in a date of birth and then tab off the field. Any suggestions for a workaround please?

You'll have to set the focus of the opening window to whatever is the next tab item.

No luck i'm afraid. If I change the date using the date picker then click on another field, nothing is fired. If I change it manually, then tab off it is fired.

Rather tan try to fire the OntextChanged event, can't you just have a javascript function that works out the age? You could call this javascript function easily enough once the date had been entered.
