I am using contour and i have field that is date. When form was rendering the calendar was not popup. Was informed by Tim Geyssens that add runat server on your head tag and calendar will be popup. That works however in my head tag i have macros and umbraco:item tags they now render out as literal text as opposed to executing. Anyone else had this issue?
Sounds like fixing one problems ends up in another. But sounds like this is more an umbraco core related issue.
Unfortunalty the default calendar control in Contour requires the runat='head' attribute if you want it in 'ajax style'.
If you want to create your own calendar control that doesn't require the attribute, the easies way would be to simply have some Jquery adding a calendar to a textbox field type
I too need to know what the resolution is for this problem. This only appears to cause an issue with older browsers. In order to stop them from throwing an error, I have to add runat="server" to my head tag. That then causes macros in my head to fail.
Resurrecting an old thread here, but I found something that works to 'fix' the problem. And, before anyone yells at me, I know that what I am doing is wrong and should never be done... just saying that so far it works...
For those who don't see the bad, non-valid markup above, what I have done is add a second head tag right before the macro. This means that not only do I have two head tags (very bad), the second head tag is nested inside a body tag (also very bad).
When the page is rendered in the browser, the markup of the first head tag remains intact, and the second head tag looks like this:
Again, I know this is bad, and it will not make it into my production site, but so far it has not broken anything else in my development site and renders properly on Chrome, FF, and IE (all updated as of SEP 2013).
macro and item issue when head runat server
Hello,

Tim,
Have you put this is issue on codeplex or do you want me to do it?
