Is there any error displayed in your browser?

It seems to be working for me.

Could you post the entire code of your page ? so that somebody can undestand the issue and provide you a solution.

I have checked your code.

It seems that you are trying to change the background color using javascript(using clickdate).

As I said in your previous post, SelectedDayStyle will take care of changing the BackColor when you click on a date.

Also your code generates script error in clickdate function at run time. It will also prevent changing the color.

I would suggest not to use bothe javascript funtions and SelectedDayStyle property. Use either one.
