Focus

[Joseph]

How do you set focus to the Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor in javascript?

Hi Joseph,

You can refer to the answer in the support ticket that you have opened with the same question.

For others convenience, following is the answer:
"For focusing the DatePicker widget with JavaScript you can get reference to the client object and use its element property, which will return the INPUT element. Once you have reference to the INPUT element you can use its focus method: 

var datepicker = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker");
datepicker.element.focus();

"
If any other questions arise on this matter I would suggest that we continue our communication in the support ticket.
