Calendar Control Postback

Hi,

I have a calendar control that I am using on a page, but I need to disable its postback,i.e. whenever a user click on a date, I have javascript function that is attached to the cell of this date that executes, but although I disabled the date the user keeps on clicking and performing a postback.

I read an article in the .Net 1.1 forum (TOPIC_ID=27237), but they are not providing sufficient details and it is about 1.1 version (not DayRendered event, all what I have is a DayRender event in 2.0)

When I implemented this event, I noticed that its rendering the control inside the cell as a LiteralControl, but with no child controls (I was aiming to locate an anchor and modify its href).

Does anyone have an idea about how to disable the calendar postback???
Note: I am using C#.
Thanks in advance,
Ray

Hey Guys,

I followed up the instructions on above mentioned topic, and found a solution (I think :), it is working for me AFAIK ). Here the code for the code manias out there, and I urge you to always provide the code since it makes things easier.

Code:

  
HyperLink datelink = new HyperLink(); 
datelink.Target = "#";//instead of having to loop for in JS :)
datelink.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Cursor, "Hand");
datelink.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText;
e.Cell.Controls.RemoveAt(0);
datelink.ID = "day_" + e.Day.Date.Month.ToString() + "_" + e.Day.Date.Day.ToString();
e.Cell.Controls.Add(datelink);

The above should go in the DayRender Event handler.

Cheers
Ray
