[SHARING] Calendar Control onChange event handling when using the date picker

Using the date picker to select a date in the Calendar Control does not trigger the onChange event. This has apparently been corrected in v8.

Thanks to a suggestion by Harry at Tech Support, it looks like the following works in versions prior to v8:

Put the Calendar Control in a container and add an onmouseover event handler to the container. The container can be invisible and (I suppose) slightly larger than the calendar control.

I added the onmouseover event handler to the gold (Salmon?) panel. Now, when I select a date from the date picker or by typing it in, the onmouseover event handler kicks in and computes the text to display below the controls.

Some months have more week rows than others - Sep. 2013 has 6, therefore the date picker frame must be within the container...

I'm on 8005 - I just wired up my first calendar widget to an HTML page.

When you type in the box - the onchange fires.
When you click the calendar icon and select your date - it does not fire the onchange.

It does not appear to me this is fixed in 8.

I may have to resort to some IT trickery.

stur0063 is right, at least for 8005: 
 //Begin function calendar1_onchange
function calendar1_onchange(ctrl) {
	alert();
}
//End function calendar1_onchange

Works for manual input but using the date picker does not fire.

This is not the first example of being told that something that didn't work in WF 7.* will work in 8.* but doesn't really.

Hi Francis

I would assume you are validiating the calendar date. If so you can validate the calendar date when clicking on a run button and if its not correct pass focus back to the calendar control.

The Onchange event does not get execute when user click on a date. I did not know that the issue has been addressed. We are using the dynacalendar control and if you want more control over the calendar you may be able to use the JSquery calendar control.

Thanks Barry

Barry, thanks very much for your feedback. We have started using the jQuery calendar control more and more since it is more configurable than the HTML Composer calendar control.

Cheers,


Francis
