and it's working fine, but when I change the type to : datetime (cause I need date and hour) , the datepicker not working. why?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Which browser are you using? I notice on there that for Chrome, datetime is unsupported but datetime-local is, maybe that solves your problem.

Answer 2

setting type="datetime" for textbox it Doesn't Mean that it will show calender for You. You can Use Calender from Ajax

in front of TextBox

<asp:TextBox ID="rSLA" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" Width="150px" 
                DayNameFormat="Shortest"  Height="25px" /> 
            </asp:Calendar>

If you're trying to use HTML5 datetime input type, it's good to check on what browsers support it first. According to this , it only appears a few mobile browsers are supported. So instead you should use a 3rd party Datepicker. There's a built-in one that doesn't work very well, there's one in the Ajax Control Toolkit that works well, jQuery UI has one (that's my personal pref) or you can Google for one.
