RadDatePicker Validation issue when javascript is diseble on user's machine

[naimish]

Hi,

In our project, we have start & End Dates (RadDatePickers), by selcting that dates Radgrid generates reports.

We are doing validation on server side.

1> The End date should be greater than start Date.

2> Date selection should be in the 6 months from current date.

Everything works well, but problem is that, if user diseble the javascript from their

machine, then  after that user is not able to select the dates or even type the date in text box of RadDatePicker.

Our need is that atleast user get a pop message  and could enter or select the date  if javascript is disebled.

Hi Naimish,

When Javascript is disabled, you cannot pop anything to the user and the RadDatePicker will not work properly. However, you can add a message to the page in a <noscript> tag, so that the user enables Javascript.

If you need the support a scenario with disabled Javascript, you should use RadInputManager with a DateInputSetting. In this case manually entered values will be submitted to the server successfully.
