Great video! How do we make the calendar to hightligh the current date when starting it up? The regular .net calendar control does it but not this ajax calendar. It is beyond my comprehension why they didn't make it the same with ajax calendar.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Hi,

Since I this extender and the popupcontrol extender, my application is slowing down hardly too (40 sec load time).

I think it is a big issue if the performance are slowing down so much when using AJAX TOOLKIT. The speed to load the page the first time a visitor is coming on the web site is very important.

Do someone has a solution to this issue?

Thanks.

I have downloaded your calender code in vb and runned it in that the first text box focus automatically in calender and after choosing date also it does not hide.

And when I press tab button it does not focus image...

So i am clicking it manually...

Is it image or image button...

If I use Image button the page post back is gone...

I am using Visual studio 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0

and AJAX TOOL KIT 1.0.10123.0

Help me to solve the problem...

And also Calender should not allow to select the previous date....

Regards,

Babu

Hello There,

I'm new to this forum, so Hi. I tried the Ajax Calendar control, and it works a treat.

However, I have got lots of Textbox controls and/or Labels quite close together, so when the Calendar 'pops' up, it show the Textboxes/Labels as well as the Calendar control, hence the other controls obscure the Calendar control. I've tried playing with the various 'PopupPosition' properties, but is there any way of ensure that the Calendar pops up without showing the other controls behind it?

Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Ashok (UK)

Three things:

One, I am getting errors because of server tags in the head.

(ie var txtBox = document.getElemetById("<%= txtBox.ClientID %>")). Is there anyway getting around this without rewriting and the js in the site.

Two, the site builds and runs fine but the Design pane (VS2008) shows "Error Creating Controls". It is not really a problem I just do not like looking at it.

Three, Not that these aren't a really good and useful set of controls but most of these are not what would be considered "AJAX". I really like and plan to use these controls but I think it might further confuse people about what AJAX is, since most of these controls do not make calls to the server, they are just controls that use the ScriptManager. So I am propose that we find a more suitable name for this Control Tool Kit.

First: I like your videos.

Second: Have anyone tried and experienced problem when using the controls with "System.Web.Extensions Version=3.5" and IE8? Joes examples work in IE8 but it looks like you use "System.Web.Extensions Version=1.0". Example: In the calender the actions of back and forward images is not working so you end up like you have clicked on the month name or the year (depending on where you are).

I have also problem with positioning in AutoCompleteExtender and DropDownExtender.

I have tried the example code with version3.5 in a number of different environments but get the same errors every time. Any suggestions?
