Date get erased on postback

I have a form which is in a updatePanel, I am putting masks on all my date fields like so:

jQuery(function ($) {
    //phone numbers
    DoMasks();    
});

function DoMasks() {
    //dates
    var txtADate = $("#<%=txtADate.ClientID%>");
    $(txtADate).mask("99/99/9999");
    var txtDOB = $("#<%=txtDOB.ClientID%>");
    $(txtDOB).mask("99/99/9999");
}

When I fill out a blank form and put the adate in, and then select a drop down (which causes postback) the date in the adate textbox get erased. when I comment out DoMasks(); everything works fine, so it must be something there? please assist.

It works fine if I open a form that already has data saved in it, and the dates are all already filled in, very strange.

What is the format of the date being passed back after the postback? If the date comes back as something like 09-30-2013 that mask will clear the value since it's looking for a date in the format of 09/30/2013. (note the slashes)

Make sure your dates are coming back with /. You can do this using a format string like so:

myDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
