please help
I used the date range demo in my code
but when I submit the form the date input is not in the input list
my code is:

<script type="text/javascript">

$().ready(function() {

	function startChange() {
		var startDate = start.value();

		if (startDate) {
			startDate = new Date(startDate);
			startDate.setDate(startDate.getDate() + 1);
			end.min(startDate);
		}
	}

	function endChange() {
		var endDate = end.value();

		if (endDate) {
			endDate = new Date(endDate);
			endDate.setDate(endDate.getDate() - 1);
			start.max(endDate);
		}
	}

	var start = $("#valid_from").width(200).kendoDatePicker({
		change: startChange,
		format: "dd-MM-yyyy"
	}).data("kendoDatePicker");

	var end = $("#valid_to").width(200).kendoDatePicker({
		change: endChange,
		format: "dd-MM-yyyy"
	}).data("kendoDatePicker");

	start.max(end.value());
	end.min(start.value());		
});

</script>

<form action="xxx" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="request_id" value="9" />
<input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="19" />
<table>
<tr>
	<td><strong>Valid From</strong></td>
	<td> : 
		<input type="text" name="valid_from" value="21-02-2012" id="valid_from" readonly="readonly" maxlength="20" size="20"  />
	</td>
	<td><strong>Valid To</strong></td>
	<td> : 
		<input type="text" name="valid_to" value="21-02-2012" id="valid_to" readonly="readonly" maxlength="20" size="20"  />
	</td>

</tr>
<tr>
	<td colspan="3">
		<input type="submit" name="btnSave" value="Save"  />
		<input type="button" id="btnBack" value="Back" onclick="window.history.back()" />

	</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

and when I submit the form the valid_from and valid_to is missing in the POST

array(6) {
  ["request_id"]=>
  string(1) "9"
  ["product_id"]=>
  string(2) "19"
  ["btnSave"]=>
  string(4) "Save"
}

Hello, this is pretty easy to reproduce.

Put a time picker and a sumbit button on a form. If you edit (entering VALID text) the time picker and click submit right away, the last value is not saved.

I'd like to know a way to fix this.

Thanks !

UPDATE:
OK, I did more tests and these didn't worked :
- Opening and closing the control before getting the value
- Setting the focus to another field before getting the value
- The change event DO happen before the submit, except it pass the old value

The value is OK in the HTML, you can get it like this (though it's not clean !!)

ElapsedControl.Control.element[0].value

instead of

ElapsedControl.Control.value()

Thanks !
