Readonly Textbox
-
Hi! I'm working in an application in VS2005. I have a Website that has a page where the user has to fill in some dates. In 2003 I used to have a function in javascript that would popup a calendar, the user would select the date there and then that date would be entered in a read-only textbox, so I was sure that the format was correct. Now this works ok in 2005, but when I try to read the text from that textbox in codebehind, I always get what was on the textbox when the page was rendered. I tried setting the readonly attribute to false, and it works then, so it's most likely a bug. Does anybody know a workaround?? Thanks in advance, Matias

Hi there, This is not a bug, by design the server does not process the postback data of the textbox when the ReadOnly[^] property is set to
true. This feature is new in the ASP.NET 2.0, to work around this issue you simply leave theReadOnlyproperty isfalse, and use the sample below to make the textbox readonly at the client side:TextBox1.Attributes.Add("readonly", "readonly");
