error <%... %> tag cannot be used at server side

[suhailkhalil]

I'm using javascirpt calendar control and using the below statement to populate date in textbox txtDate. I'm using master page in VS2005.

javascript:show _calendar('docu ment.GetElement ById("<%=txtDat e.ClientID%>")' );

but this gives the parser error <%... %> tag cannot be used at server side

I've tried <%# also but to no avail.

Any help is hugely appreciated

Thanks
Suhail

Welcome to TSDN.

Is this JSP?

[suhailkhalil]

It is javasciript on .net 2005.

I know it's javascript, but which language are you using for the tags?

Maybe it might be more helpful if you give the rest of the code, e.g. txtDate.clientI D?
