I've upgraded to the latest ajax toolkit and now and having problems with the maskededitextender. It works great when my users are filling out forms but when I try to display the contents of the form later on, I cannot get the dates to populate. I narrowed things down to a small piece of code to demonstrate.
Here is the html for a textbox and mask:
<asp:TextBox ID="tbDOB" runat="server" MaxLength="20"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:MaskedEditExtender ID="MaskedEditDOB" runat="server" Mask="99/99/9999" MaskType="Date" TargetControlID="tbDOB" />
And in the vb.net code behind the page, I simply want to populate that textbox as follows:
tbDOB.text = "1/1/2015"
(Normally, this would be a date retrieved from the database - this is easier to see the issue)
When I load the page, the textbox appears with the mask (__/__/____) but does not put 1/1/2015 in the box.
What am I doing wrong? I swear this was working before I updated the toolkit so perhaps there is a different way to handle dates in the extender? If I get rid of the mask, then the date populates without a problem.
Comments: OK - that did help and I found the problem. I had my intranet sites set to run in compatibility mode on Internet Explorer. When IE was upgraded to 11, the maskededitextender did not work properly in IE. It works in firefox. When I turned off compatibility mode, then it worked again in IE. Sometimes I really hate that browser. Thanks for all your help! This issue can be closed. Hopefully will help someone else in the future with similar problem.
