date change event.

[Guillermo]

hello,

I'm working with a kendo datepicker. I created the control with a change event option.

When i run the page, if i already have a date in the input and y modifie it by adding some text to the input the change event is not fiered.

EX:

1- run code
2- the input has "12/12/2010"
3- add some invalid text to the end ex: "12/12/2010asdasd"
4- the input text of the input now is "12/12/2010asdasd" 


the change event is not fiered.

When i do the same but instead of add text, select all the text with the mouse and then y wrote any thet to the input, the change event is fiered.

EX:

1- run code
2- the input has "12/12/2010" 
3- select the input text with the mouse and write "asdasd"
4- the input text of the control now is "asdasd" 

the change event is fiered. 

is this the proper behaviour??

Regards
Guillermo

Hi Guillermo, 


The described behaviour of the DatePicker is expected, because it succeeds parsing the string "12/12/2010asdasd" to the valid date "12/12/2010" which is the same date as the old value. Also if you submit the DatePicker with value "12/12/2010asdasd" in the input filed, the submitted value will be valid date "12/12/2010".

Please note that DatePicker is working in the following way:

1. Try to parse the field value
2. If succeed the value is compared to the old value 
3. If the current value is different than the old value the change event is fired

Kind regards,
