Date field losing calendar icon when property changed

[deonreid2]

I have a date field where I have the visibility it set initially to hidden. I have a checkbox with the following javascript on the onchange event.
if(get("Checkbox3") == "Y"){
applyProperty("Date1","visibility","visible");
} else {
applyProperty("Date1","visibility","hidden");
}

The problem is the date is visible when the box is checked, however, the calendar icon is never available. What could be the cause of this?

A couple of problems here:

1. You'll want to look at the checked state of the checkbox. So try code like this:

Code: Select all

// I've always done this from the 'onclick' event, not 'onchange' event...

if(getObj("Checkbox3").checked){
 applyProperty("Date1","visibility","visible");
} else {
 applyProperty("Date1","visibility","hidden");
}

2. It's come to our attention recently that the calendar icon can fail to show/hide when the date field textbox is shown/hidden. If you run into this, please contact our technical support team, there is a patch available.

I added the following statement to my java script and it solved it.:

attachCalendar("Date1");

When the input element's parent (eg. layout) is display=none, then the calendar icon won't display at the correct position.
