using type command in date picker field

selenium.type("id=dob",12121990);
if(selenium.getValue("id=result").equals("12121990")) {
system.out.println("Changed");
}


Here when I type DOB in dob text box, the value=12121990 will be displayed in result text box box. Here id=DOB is the date picker. The value that is being typed is not reflected in id=result text box. Im not using selenium.click to select the date. Instead Im typing the date in date field. Pl help me.

I think for date picker you have to click on calendar link to choose from without it you can't enter into it.

you can try 2 ways:
1. do mouse operations by clicking on date of your choice.
2. click on calendar click and then type date into edit field. by clicking on calendar link makes the field editable and write operation perform successfully

Hope this will help. Best of luck.

Bye
