my Calendar extender is so slow

I have a textbox, linked to calendar extender, and validationcallout attached to it. But the calendar extender displays so slowly, it takes for ever to see the calendar.

Any solution please.

One more question pls, does the calendar extender pop up after a round trip to the server, or is it purely on the client?

Help, Help Help :) :). Thnks a lot.

The calendar extender is all done on client side using javascript.

I also get slow performance on the calendar extender when I have a few on the page and if I try to open and close them repeatedly while selecting dates.

is there any other alternative pls? or is the calendar server control faster?

Thanks.

The calendar asp.net control will cause a full page postback.

I can see that the calendar extender is a tad slow but not to the extent where it is frustrating users or where it is such a delay that I would rather do a full page post back
