Causing an event to fire

[Guest]

In asp.net, I have a hyperlink, hypTradeDate. This calls a Calendar page
that has a calendar control. Anyways, it is using some javascript to set the
field, TradeDate.Text.

Anyways, my problem is that I have an even hander on TradeDate.TextChanged.
This isn't getting fired from the javascript. How can I force this to be
fired?

Hi Patrick,

One possible reason might be you set the readonly property to the
textbox. If you want to validate the date entered by the user directly,
write a function and add it as 'onblur' event attibute to the 'TradeDate'
textbox.

Hope this will help you.

That part I have already conquered. Thanks for responding.

Any thoughts about the other situation? A user clicks a hyperlink, it takes
them to a page with a calendar, the date is selected and set in the text box.
However, no event is fired.

In javascript, the event is "onchange". Are you expecting the handle the
event on the client?

On the server it is TextChanged. If the control is disabled on the client
side, the new values are not posted back to the server and the server side
TextChanged event is not fired.
