how do I clear RADDateInput on the client?

[Elliott]

I've been trying to clear a bad date in Javascript

<telerik:RadDateInput id="del1" DateFormat="d" Width="82px" Height="18px" Font-Size="X-Small" Font-Names="Verdana" BorderWidth="1px" AllowEmpty="true" runat="server" >
    <ClientEvents OnKeyPress="del_keypress" />
    <ClientEvents OnError="date_input_error" />
</telerik:RadDateInput>

the scripts

function del_keypress(sender, eventArgs) {
    var whichCode = eventArgs.get_keyCode();
    if ((whichCode != 13) && ((whichCode < 47) || (whichCode > 57)))
        eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
}

function date_input_error(sender, args) {
    alert("Invalid Delivery Date");
   // next line does nothing
    sender.clear();
    sender.focus();
}

Hello Marianne,

I also experienced the same behavior in the latest version(2012, 1, 411, 35). It was figured out as a bug according to this forum thread.

Thanks,
Shinu.

thanks Shinu
unfortunately, Remus beat me to it, so he gets the points

I wonder if the locking that happens on Firefox is part of the problem - or separate

Hi Shinu,

The two issues are way different, the forum you linked is about problem in server side of the control, that happens after postback with invalid value. I think it is already fixed and it should work correctly in the current official version.

The actual issue that Marianne experience is caused by a JavaScript bug and it happens only in single input rendering mode. It will be resolved in the next release.

All the best,
