Open raddatepicker on formload

[JJ]

Is there anyway to open raddatepicker on form load?

Thanks

Hi JJ,

You should be able to do that intercepting the OnLoad client event of the date picker and invoking its showPopup() method (see this article for reference).

Raddatepicker does not have OnLoad events

I use the folloiwng code to pop up raddatepicker. when page load, some times it works,. Most of the time I got javascript error below:
'null' is null or not an object

Hello JJ,

You can try the same code in the JavaScript function named pageLoad() which is a shortcut for the Sys.Application.load event.
Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function pageLoad()
     {
        var picker = $find("<%= RadDatePicker1.ClientID %>");
        picker.showpopup();
     }
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.
