Hi,

If you want to store date as string in a global variable, then you need to write conversion/filters for get/setValue member functions. Example:

function checkVal()
{
  var dc = igdrp_getComboById('WebDateChooser1');
  //or
  //var dc = ig$('WebDateChooser1');
  if(!dc)
   return;
  //example to convert Date value as string
  var val = dc.getValue();
  if(val)
     myValueOfWebDC = '' + (val.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + val.getDate() + '/' + val.getFullYear();
  else
    myValueOfWebDC = null;

  //example to set Date value from your string
  var date = null;
  if(myValueOfWebDC)
  {
   var fields = myValueOfWebDC.split('/');
   date = new Date();
   date.setFullYear(parseInt(fields[2]));
   date.setMonth(parseInt(fields[0]) - 1);
   date.setDate(parseInt(fields[1]));
   date.setHours(0);
   date.setMinutes(0);
   date.setSeconds(0);
   date.setMilliseconds(0);
  }
  alert("value in WebDC=" + myValueOfWebDC + "\nactual date:" + date);
  //dc.setValue(date);
}
