Description

The popup calednar for the date control (and I think the calendar control) uses javascript "document.write" methods. Unfortunately this is not very compatible with AJAX as it is hard to write content to the document after the document is closed.

Instead, can this be changed to have:

A) printed hidden component (visibility: hidden; display: none) and just shown when the user clicks the popup button.

or

B) Use the DOM JavaScript API to add new elements to the DOM instead of document.write.

Unless this is changed, these controls cannot be used with AjaxAnywhere and probably not with other AJAX solutions.
