[Solved] Calendar tooltip not showing

[Luis Velez]

Original problem:
When we added a datepicker to our view, the textbox and icon appeared on our form, but the calendar tooltip would not show at all.

Our solution:
We modified line 364 in telerik.datepicker.js to apply a z-index of 9999 to the calendar as such:

animationContainer.css($.extend({
                    position: 'absolute',
                    zIndex: 9999
                }, elementPosition));

...as a result, the datepicker calendar tooltip shows up while running in Visual Studio 2008.

Current problem:
When we deployed the application to IIS 7.5 the calendar tooltip would not show again.

We discovered the following behavior of ScriptRegistrar in the view:

<%= Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().jQuery(false) %>

    ->   Running in VS2008 loads <filename>.js
    ->   Running in IIS loads <filename>.min.js

…which is why our initial solution wasn’t working.

Questions:
A.   Bug in the datepicker calendar tooltip not showing up should be fixed by Telerik
B.   Why is there a difference between the VS2008 and IIS for ScriptRegistrar?
C.   How do we control ScriptRegistrar for what file to load: regular or min version?

Hello Luis Velez,

The ScriptRegistrar loads the JavaScript mode based on the debug setting. If debugging is enabled (<compilation debug="true" /> in web.config) the ScriptRegistar will look for .debug.js, then .js and finally .min.js. In release mode the .min.js file is loaded first.
