ASP.net and Popup Calendar

are you still using a button for the calendar? I think it may be the post back caused by the button. try using an asp image insted of the button. Doing it this way will allow you to get rid of the update panel as well ;)
 
For some reason the updatepanel has been removed, although it was still popping up.

It now pops up as it should but i'll bear in mind about the using an Image rather than an ImageButton.

Thanks a lot for your help, really appreciated :)

Err install AJAX?

Do you know what AJAX is?

You have to install the AJAX dependencies (well, not if you have the newest .NET framework...)

Yes I understand the basics of what it is but don't really have any experience with it outside the AJAX control toolkit.

I work in an environment where you can't just go installing things on production servers at random without proper testing.

Meh i clearly don't understand how visual web developer handles AJAX. Why does it need dependancies when all AJAX is is a bit of Javascript and a server side script or service that spits out XML.

I know very little about it myself dude.

But if you're only using .NET framework 2.0 you have to install the AJAX extensions.

The dependencies are only to enable the various new AJAX controls to be integrated within Visual Studio.
There is no such thing as installing AJAX on the server if the correct version of the .NET framework is there, I presume Wardie is getting confused between what's needed server side and client side.

Though you don't really even need it client side.
As long as you have the .NET framework installed you could code an AJAX enabled ASP.NET application using notepad, but it wouldn't be too much fun!

Is that why they've made a fuss about VWD 2008 and ASP.net 3.5 including AJAX extensions then? Because it comes with a few of the basic AJAX VWD controls?

If you only have .NET framework 2.0 on your server do you need to install something server-side for it to work with ASP.net applications?

I have only ever heard of or used AJAX (albeit barely) within Visual Studio or VWD so you can see why I thought it needed installing.

All the VWB2008/VS2008 hype is about integration of the various AJAX controls with the IDE.
You will need a specific version of the .NET framework to make use of these controls, probably either 3.0 or 3.5, not too sure but that's just to use those controls, not AJAX.

You could code something in .NET 1.0 that uses AJAX if you build the framework manually.
