Dear Chris, Many thanks for ur prompt response on this........actually i had made an application which was primrily for dataentry purposes.......and the dataentry operators that i have are in a habit of entring date as ddmmyyyy rather than mm/dd/yyyy which is the default format of SQL server......therefore i had to enable the autopostback property of the textbox and had to write a code to convert the string into date format.........i had to do this cause i was not able to get the javascript functions to work with ASP.NET 2.0........i tried to use getelemetbyid and finally got it to work.......i will show u the code on monday as the application is in my office...........thanks a million!!
Best regards, Arun Arora, Chandigarh, India Chris Farrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You can do this. ASP.Net for an asp:Textbox will still render a HTML textbox. The most likely problem is that your control is in some type of control container and is thus rendering a different ID. You can do viewsource to see the actual ID of the control. Depends upon usage, you can sometimes use myTextBox.ClientID to get the rendered ID if this is the problem. Also, if the control is inside some type of list-bound control such as a repeater, datalist, datagrid, etc you will need to handle it differently. As per postbacks, I don't know why a textbox would cause a postback. Are you trying to assign a different behavior to a button click or some other event? You can always attach client javascript to these as well.1 There are different senarios and it would be best for us to see your code so we can give you the correct method.
