Since I updated jQueryUI to 1.8 I found a couple of issues in our implementations and I could fix it myself without waiting for a fix on their end if I could find out how to subclass a specific method of the datepicker widget so I call the parent code and then execute my code.
I was reading on $.widget but I just can't wrap my head around how that is suppose to work.
I tried something like this:
$.widget("ui.datepicker", {
_showDatepicker: function(input) {
alert('Yo');
$.datepicker.prototype._showDatepicker.apply(this,arguments);
alert('Hey!');
}
});
And all sorts of other variations and beging to think I just don't understand the 'extendability' of jQueryUI or it just can't be done.
Anybody knows how I can achieve this ?
Thx
