Date picker doesn't work on iPad Safari

[Trent]

I've moved from the Telerik MVC controls but I've run into a bug which will be a show stopper for me. I've found 3 issues with the date picker on iPad Safari:

1. When I load the page the date picker control is black, even though it should have a value
2. When you click the dropdown button the calendar shows but you can't click a date to select it
3. When you click the text area of the date picker the iOS date picker control pops up but the wrong date is selected

My application works for all other browsers. I have an existing customer base who all use iPads, so this would leave me dead in the water. Is this a known issue?

Thanks!

Hi Trent,

this was a bug in the official release, which was fixed in subsequent internal builds. Get the latest internal to make it work and let me know how it goes.

Thanks Kamen. It's better, but not much. I still see the following:

• Clicking the icon pops up the date picker and you can now select a date, but after selecting a date there's nothing in the textbox area. The validation rules don't pick up a value so it's null.
• Clicking the textbox area sill pops up the iOS date picker control, and in this case selecting a date works.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Trent.

Incidentally, this can easily be reproduced by hosting the examples which come with the internal build code. I hosted mine temporarily - open this up in an iPhone or iPad and you still see the issue: (link removed)

Hi Trent,

The MVC wrappers render an input of type date to provide HTML5 compliance and to be able to work somehow when JavaScript is turned off. The input should be later changed to type text on the client, but due to a bug, this doesn't happen on mobile devices. I've fixed it and the fix will be available with the next internal and the service pack. Meanwhile you can override the type by adding it to the widget HTML attributes, like this:
...
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:110px", type = "text" })
...

Hello Shenthuran,

Can you elaborate on what exactly doesn't work with the provided workaround and maybe post a sample project where we can reproduce the issue and help you fix it? You can open a support ticket if you need the privacy. Thank you in advance.

Hi 
I am having the same problem with all Kendoui web controls.
I am using them with MVC wrappers and checked the datepicker, combobox and listbox and they doesn't response using iPad or iPhone.
you may see that on the web site www.yomaney.com
I have set up a user name and password both are kendoui.
try add and expense through the iPad/iPhone and you'll see that you can't select a date or a bank account for example.

Omer
