Allow custom date format

[jgig]

I edited and deleted most of my original post because the date format I wanted to support I just found out you already do( ex: "24Jan"). I recently updated the controls so this must be fairly new.
 
I  just need to - if the month is before current month increment the year now. Example if they enter 12Oct I want it to be year 09 and not 08. Always has to be with in the future.

love these controls!

SO I have my function working the way I want now. Just want to do it a little better. I dont like the way I had to find the objDatePicker. 

<

 

DateInput ClientEvents-OnBlur="CorrectDateYear"></DateInput>
Because I have the onBlur of the DateInput I didnt know how to get the Parent DatePicker object and I am in a Repeater so I cant just use the <%= DatePicker.ClientID %>. 

Is there a way to use something like this? I noticed some objects allow this.
var objDatePicker = sender.get_parent();

function CorrectDateYear(sender, eventArgs)
{
    if (!sender.isEmpty())
    {
        var dtToday = new Date();//Todays Date
        var strDateInputID = sender.get_id();//Sender is the DateInput
        var strDatePickerID = strDateInputID.replace("_dateInput", "");//Remove _dateInput and that is the picker ID
        var objDatePicker = $find(strDatePickerID);
        if(objDatePicker != null){
            var dtUserInput = objDatePicker.get_selectedDate();//Users date they entered
            if(dtToday > dtUserInput)//No dates allowed in the past
            {
                dtUserInput.setYear(dtToday.getFullYear() + 1);//use todays year that way if they enter a date 2 years old it will still be in the furure
                objDatePicker.set_selectedDate(dtUserInput);
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello Jeremy,

Please test the following code-snippet:

var objDatePicker = sender.Owner;

Let me know if I missed something.
