I'm using a Ajax Calendar Control within a usercontrol and for one page that references the calender it works fine but for the other page although i can t see any different references or anything when i click on the calender text box the calender does not pop up.
Here is some of the code let me know if you need to see more:
Inside the usercontrol:
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtStartFrom" runat="server" Width="80" MaxLength="10" />
<ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender ID="calDateTo" runat="server" Animated="true" TargetControlID="txtStartFrom"
Format="dd/MM/yyyy" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="reqValStartFrom" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtStartFrom" ErrorMessage="You must enter a start date" CssClass="errorinputleftred" />
<Opal:DateValidator ID="dValCalendar" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtStartFrom"
Display="dynamic" ErrorMessage="Invalid date" SetFocusOnError="True" CssClass="errorinputleft" />
</td>
Page that refers to the control:
<%@ Register Src="RecurrenceControl.ascx" TagName="Recurrence" TagPrefix="uc" %>
<div...>
<uc:Recurrence ID="ucRecurrence" runat="server" />
</div>

Edit for comment below about form tag
the form tag is inside another .aspx page which calls the jobdetails.ascx page as so
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="screenScrapeAssign.aspx.vb" Inherits="HelpDeskWebsite.screenScrapeAssign" %>
<%@ Register Src="~/webparts/JobDetails.ascx" TagName="JobDetails" TagPrefix="uc" %>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost:1137/email/screenscrapemail.css" />
<form id=ssform runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="smMaster" runat="server"/>
<uc:JobDetails ID="ucJobDetails" runat="server" Title="Request Details" TitleIconImageUrl="~/images/icons/ticketdetails.jpg" />
</form>
Any help appreciated. Thanks
weirdly it has just started to work even though i haven t added anything to it - it seems that their was a problem with all the calender controls on that page - but they were working in live - so maybe a visual studio issue - and now for whatever reason they all seem to be working - including the ones in my usercontrol which weren t working before - thankyou for everyones help though.
