Hi there,

This is very easy since jQuery uses CSS selectors to get elements. Instead of writing it twice, put both selectors into the one statement and it will apply the datepicker to both. E.g.

JavaScript

$("#txtbirthdate, #txtSeparationDate").datepicker({ 
       dateformat: "dd-mm-yyyy", 
       showOn: "button",
       buttonImage: "/Images/calendar1.gif",
       buttonText: "Choose a date",
       buttonImageOnly: true, 
       hideIfNoPrevNext: true
   });

Hope this helps,
Ed

Another way is to simply add a CSS class to all your text boxes, then you can attach by class name, e.g

Your MVC markup...(just make sure you add the class attribute)

HTML

<![CDATA[<%= Html.TextBoxFor("LastName", Model.LastName, new { @class = "date-picker" })%>]]>

Jquery init...

JavaScript

$('.date-picker').datepicker({ dateformat: 'dd-mm-yyyy', showOn: "button",
       buttonImage: '/Images/calendar1.gif',
       buttonText: "Choose a date",
       buttonImageOnly: true, hideIfNoPrevNext: true
   });
