How does one disable animation in jquery-ui datepicker ?

Question

I'm generally averse to animation effects given the overheads of reflow on the client side browser.

jquery-ui is an awesome widget. It has all the stuff I need. But is there a way to disable the animation -- in other words the widget just appears instead of sliding out or fading in?

Answer 1

One way to achieve this is to set the 'duration' option to empty string.

  $('.date').datepicker ({
      duration: ''
  });

Answer 2

Hi,

Currently jquery datepicker plugin doesn't have any parameter to avoid animations.
