Answer 1

Add a class to all of your textboxes that you want to convert to datepicker, like such:

<input class="useDatePicker" id="txtTransationDate" name="txtTransationDate" type="text" />
<input class="useDatePicker" id="txtInvoiceDate" name="txtInvoiceDate" type="text" />
<input class="useDatePicker" id="txtWhateverDate" name="txtWhateverDate" type="text" />

Then in your master page, add this script:

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $(".useDatePicker").live('click', function () {
            $(this).datepicker('destroy').datepicker({
                showOn: 'focus'
            }).focus();
        });
    });

</script>

in the success call back of your ajax function set up the calendar.

$.ajax({
    url: url,
    data: yourData, 
    type: 'POST',
    success: function(){
       $("#datepicker").datepicker();

    },
    error: function(){
           //your error stuff
    }
});

something like that should work. i've got calendars in partial views with out any issue.
