I want to create a custom placeholder that displays a date in a label during
presentation and as a calendar control during authoring

When authoring there are messages relating to view state and additionally
when tryng to move ahead or back months a pop-up warns I am moving away from
the page.  It seems linked to the postback event.

This same point was raised here earlier in

b429-e21b2c0db76c&dglist=&ptlist=&exp=&sloc=en-us
but the answer wasn't helpful

Is there a more expansive response on this issue available please?
Thanks

Thanks Stefan - I can look at this and from that work out why your's worked
and mine failed

I am still receiving the warning about attempting navigate away from the
page.  I have failed to spot this as a browser setting but that doesn't mean
t
it isn't one - do you have a workaround for this?

Thanks
