Do this way:

Drop click activity and paste your selector.Don’t indicate anything.

"<webctrl aaname='"+dateVal+"' parentid='ui-datepicker-div' tag='A' />"

dont know why its not accepting that variable or is there any other way to pass that variable.
Simple i just need to choose the current date or anyother date(which i pass in the variable ex dt=Today.AddDays(1).ToString(“dd”) ) and click that date on the calendar .
Why its so tricky ?
:stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry i was not clear. Paste your selector which you showed in 1st post.

but aaname=“+dt.Trim+”
