Calendar in Datagrid

[John Walker]

Hi,
I had posted the below question and received a suggestion from Fiaz, and
then I posted a followup question but received no answer. This was a while
ago so I thought that I should repost this. I hope Fiaz reads this, but if
not, does anybody else agree with Fiaz's suggestion? Oldest messages start
at bottom.

Thanks!
John

Fiaz,

I applied your code but the offsets weren't what I had expected. The
hyperlink on every row in the datagrid showed the the same values. The
values were:
offsetTop: 1
offsetLeft: 77
offsetWidth: 31

The calendar would appear in the upper left hand area of the screen, even
though I was clicking on a hyperlink in the lower right hand side of the
browser. I applied your code exactly as you posted it. Might you have any
idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks again,
John

Hi John

Sorry for late response. Try this code sample and let us know. I am
confident it will work

hlScheduledDeliveryCal = CType(e.Item.FindControl("hlScheduledDeliveryCal"),
HyperLink)

hlScheduledDeliveryCal.Attributes.Add("onclick", "Go(event.x, event.y, '" &
RTrim(txtScheduledDelivery.UniqueID) & "');")

Add a javascript function to the client side.

function Go(top, left, UniqueID)
{
var calendar_window = window.open('../controls/calendar.aspx?formname='
+ UniqueID,
'calendar_window', 'width=154,height=184,top=' + top + ',left=' + left);

calendar_window.focus();
}

You can set the left and top properties by passing event.x + number, event.y
+ number in Go method.
If it works let me know.

Fiaz,

I needed to switch the x and y, but after that it worked like a charm.
Thanks so much for your help!
