Hello drpoalim,

I am glad you have been able to resolve your issue. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact me!

Initialize works 

thanks

Hello drpoalim,

As WebDatePicker is an ASP.NET control it is being initalized later than the document.ready event. What I can suggest is using the page load, or alternatively the control`s client side Initalize event in this scenario.

Feel free to contact me if you need any further support.

This works
however I want to get the value whan the dom is ready
I use document.ready as I show in the code.

However $find("txtExpiryDate"); still gives me null.

It seems that the control txtExpiryDate is not ready yet on document.ready

I tried with the $ syntax, and then the control txtExpiryDate exists, bet get_value() not.

I use other controls on this functions, and I get the same problems.

   GetAllHolidays(); 
}); 

function GetAllHolidays() 
{ 
 var txtDate = $find("txtExpiryDate"); 
    var date = txtDate.get_value(); 
    var year; 
    if (date == null) 
        date = new Date(); 

    var year = date.getFullYear(); 
    GetYearHolidays(year); 
}
