Trigger Server roundtrip for date field

The date picker for a date input field is made using javascript on client side. To trigger a round trip , you have to write some code on client side.

Code mentioned below has to be written on .htm page of the view.

thtmlbCalendar.pick = function(e) {

var o = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement;

var sId = this.lastInstance;

var oInput = thtmlbGetElement(sId);

if (o.id === “currentDate”) {

e.cancelBubble=true;

return;

}

var currentDateValue = document.getElementById(‘currentDate’).value;

while (o.tagName != “TD”) {

o = o.parentNode;

if (o == null){

return;

}

var sDay = o.id;

if (sDay==null || sDay==“”){

return;

}

if (sDay) {

var aDate = sDay.split(“-“);

var arrValue = [];

arrValue[0]=parseInt(aDate[2]);

arrValue[1]=parseInt(aDate[1]);

arrValue[2]=parseInt(aDate[0], 10);

var newValue = this.getFormattedDate(arrValue[0], arrValue[1], arrValue[2]);

thtmlbSetInputFieldAttribute(oInput, ‘encodedValue’, newValue);

e.cancelBubble=true;

oInput.focus();

this.hide();

var element_event = sId + “:submitonenter”;

htmlbSL(this,2,element_event,‘0’);

}

};

</script>

You don’t need to change anything in the above code.

If you want to avoid writing the code on .htm page then you can also write the above code in a js file and upload in your component through tcode se80->MIME repository->SAP->BC->BSP->SAP->Your component name->right click for Import MIME Objects->select your JS file.

After the js file upload is complete, include js file in your htm page.
