Maya, below is what I have (it won't let me add an attachment). I have a couple of problems; 1) the edit template is aligned to the top of the row, not the bottom, which causes part of it to be off screen and it won't scroll up, 2) the dropdowns are not popluated. I followed your example, but I must not be doing something right. Please help. Also, how do I get the data from the controls in the edit template? Thanks

Sorry, it is setting it to the current date, not the date in the grid cell.

Yes, if there is no date, it now sets it to Select a Date, however, when there is a date, it is also setting it to Select a Date, not the date in the grid cell from the record.

Sorry, Maya. I thought I had this but I don't. I have copied/used exactly what you have sent, but it doesn't set the dates according to what is in the grid. It sets both my controls to the dates of the first row of the grid, even though I am editing the 6th row. The first row has two dates of 9/30/2011 each. The 6th row that I am editing has two dates of 9/30/2011 and 5/28/2011, but both the WebDateChoosers are still being set to 9/30/2011.

Sorry, Maya. The example doesn't work. I can't create a new project for it, because you are using IG 4 v11.1, I am using IG 3.5 v10.3.20103.2134. I am also using this in a master page. Even copying the javascript into my existing project and setting the grid/datechooser the same doesn't work. The only thing I have been able to get to work is the WebDateEditor, but it is displaying the full long date format like Mon Jan 25 00:00:00 CDT. If I could get this format to be mm/dd/yyyy, I can use that.

Thanks, Maya. could you provide an example of the second method please?

I understand that in the datecontrol init method we are setting the hidden control value to that of the datechooser. Then in the javascript below we are initializing the hidden control, getting its id, then getting the date from the current row, creating the datechooser var as the hidden date and setting the current row datevalue to the datechooser, which is based on the hidden control.

var hdn=document.getElementById("HiddenPerformancePlanCompletedDate");
var ChooserId=hdn.value;
var row=igtbl_getRowById(rowId);
var currentVal=row.getCell(1).getValue();
var dateChooser=document.getElementById(ChooserId);
dateChooser.value=currentVal;
dateChooser.Object.inputBox.value=currentVal;

There are 2 things I don't understand.  1) We are taking the value of the rowedittemplate date control, which we have already established isn't reliable, and assigning it to the hidden control and 2) there is nowhere the javascript is assigning that value back to the datecontrol in the edit template? We are simply getting the date from the grid and putting it into the hidden control, which we already did in the date control's init method. I'm confused.....
