DatePicker Popup calendar doesn't work when enabled at client-side

[dingjing]

I set a DatePicker.Enable = false at server-side. At client-side, I use a checkbox to set the DatePicker enabled. Although the DateInput textbox is enabled, but the popup calendar doesn't work.

Hi dingjing,

Indeed this is a known problem and basically once you start off with datepicker disabled on the server, you cannot properly enable it on the client. We suggest you to either disable it on initial load via javascript, instead on the server, or use the server-side Enable/Disable along with our Ajax controls, so the user experience will still be smooth.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Franco,

Currently , as I previously mentioned, possible workarounds are to disable the control on initial load via javascript, instead on the server, or use the server-side Enable/Disable along with our Ajax controls.

Hello Tom,

We have discovered a couple of HTML/CSS problems in RadCalendar and RadDateTimePicker shortly after the Q3 2008 SP1 release. Please use the following hotfix and excuse us for the hassle:
