I have two RadDatePickers. When I select a date on the first one I need the MaxDate set to the selected date on the 2nd one.
The following code sets the MaxDate correctly

    
            function dateSelected(sender, e) { 
        
               var dateString = e.get_newValue(); 
        
               var maxdate = new Date(dateString); 
        
               var postmarkdate = $find("<%= PostMarkDate.ClientID %>"); 
        
               postmarkdate.set_maxDate(maxdate); 
        
            }

My error occurs when I set the date on the 1st picker to any date less than the current month and then I click the icon to popup the calendar for the second picker. Whenever I do this I get a javascript popup with the error: "Date is out of range."

This occurs whether I type in the date or select one from the calendar.

As I said this does not happen if I select a date that falls in the current month.

This does not occur when I already have a date in the 2nd picker, only when it's empty.

The MaxDate is set correctly in the 2nd picker and the 2nd picker calendar that pops up is displaying the correct dates, it just throws the js error.

Whats the issue?

Thanks,

Rob T

I am still facing this issue (telerik version - 2011.1.614.35).

I have two RadDatePicker controls radDate1 and radDate2. The min and max dates of both these controls are set when the page is initialized, and they are same i.e. "radDate1's MinDate = radDate2's MinDate = varMinDate". Similarly, MaxDate is same for both controls. When the user changes the date in radDate1, the selectedDate and maxDate of radDate2 are set to the selected date of radDate1. This is done because the date in radDate2 must never exceed the date in radDate1. All this works fine except for one scenario - when user selects the date in radDate1 same as that of MinDate. E.g.,

1. The MinDate of both controls is July 1, 2013. MaxDate can be anything, it doesn't matter for now.
2. User changes the date of radDate1 to July 1, 2013.
3. The javascript code sets the selectedDate and maxDate of radDate2 to July 1, 2013, and gives an alert message 'Date is out of range'.

Please note, here the MaxDate of radDate1 is also equal to its MinDate. But it works properly as user had manually set the date. Where as, for radDate2, the maxDate is being set through js code (using set_maxDate()), which gives the error.

For now, for this particular scenario, I have fixed this issue by setting the minDate of radDate2 to 1day prior, then set its maxDate and then again reset the minDate to what it was. But, I am really not fond of such hacks. Is there a better recommendation? Is this a bug in the telerik control?

Note - I have also tried clearing the selectedDate of radDate2 before setting its max_date, just to check if it has something to do with the error. But in vain.
