Problem when adding event handler at client side

[Edwin]

I need to add event handler at client side to a RadDateInput control.

string script =
string.Format("$find('{0}').add_valueChanged({1});", myDateInput.ClientID, myHandlerFunction);

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(
    this, typeof(DateInput), "clientChange",
    script,
    true);

The above javascript can be fired when the page is loaded but $find cannot find the control.  However the script can be executed successfully after the page is completely loaded.

Where should I "call" my javascript if not using RegisterStartupScript?

Best regards
Edwin

Hi Edwin,

One suggestion is by using the pageLoad event on client side in order to access the RadControl client ide object when page loads. Please try the JavaScrip code below and see whether it fits your need.

JavaScrip:

<script type="text/javascript">
function get_DateInput()
{
    var input = $find("<%= RadDateInput1.ClientID %>");
}
function pageLoad(sender, args)
{
    get_DateInput();
}
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.
