Hi,

I have 2 calendar controls..One for start date and another for end date in the MDYY format.
Initially,both the calendar controls should be blank and only when the user clicks on them, the default value for the start date should always be the May 1st of the previous year and default value for the end date should be the sys date.

Could anyone please let me know how to do this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,
IP

Hi IP,

Try this code on the 'onClick' event of calendar control, this works for me every time.

function calendar1_onclick(ctrl)
{

var NewToday = new Date();
var Today = new Date(NewToday.getFullYear(), NewToday.getMonth(), NewToday.getDate());
var DateMM = Today.getMonth() + 1;
// javascript months are 0 through 11
var DateDD = Today.getDate();
var DateYYYY = Today.getFullYear();
var DatePrevYY = DateYYYY - 1;
< !-- need 2-digit months and days and 4-digit years -->
if (DateMM < 10) DateMM = '0' + DateMM;
if (DateDD < 10) DateDD = '0' + DateDD;
document.getElementById('calendar1').value = '05' + '/01/' + DatePrevYY;
}
function calendar2_onclick(ctrl)
{
var NewToday = new Date();
var Today = new Date(NewToday.getFullYear(), NewToday.getMonth(), NewToday.getDate());
var DateMM = Today.getMonth() + 1;
// javascript months are 0 through 11
var DateDD = Today.getDate();
var DateYYYY = Today.getFullYear();

< !-- need 2-digit months and days and 4-digit years -->
if (DateMM < 10) DateMM = '0' + DateMM;
if (DateDD < 10) DateDD = '0' + DateDD;
document.getElementById('calendar2').value = DateMM +'/'+ DateDD +'/'+ DateYYYY;
}

Hi Pranav,

Thanks for the quick response but unfortunately it is throwing this javascript error message when I click on the 1st calendar control:

Line:37
Char:1
Error:'DatePrevYY' is undefined
Code :0

Please let me know!

Thanks a lot in advance!

It won't throw JS error if you comment out unwanted lines

//Begin function calendar1_onclick
function calendar1_onclick(ctrl) {
var NewToday = new Date();
var Today = new Date(NewToday.getFullYear(), NewToday.getMonth(), NewToday.getDate());
var DateMM = Today.getMonth() + 1;
// javascript months are 0 through 11
var DateDD = Today.getDate();
var DateYYYY = Today.getFullYear();
var DatePrevYY = DateYYYY - 1;
//< !-- need 2-digit months and days and 4-digit years -->
if (DateMM < 10) DateMM = '0' + DateMM;
if (DateDD < 10) DateDD = '0' + DateDD;
document.getElementById('calendar1').value = '05' + '/01/' + DatePrevYY;
}
//End function calendar1_onclick
