Answer 1

A:

I hope you have an input tag like so in your HTML body:

<input name="date" id="date" class="date-pick" />

Sorry, missed that off my post. Editing to include this.

2010-09-19 10:44:57

Have you included this in a `<form>`?

petsagouris 2010-09-19 10:47:58

And also make sure you've included the `id` attribute with the same name as the `name` attribute.

Yes - <form action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>" method="POST">

Answer 2

A:

i would suggest you take a look at the regular jquery ui datepicker to get a standard out of the box datepicker working. Start by simply using the exact code you see here and then tweak (step by step) as necessary. There are tons of example for all different use cases and good documentation

  $('.date-pick').datePicker().val(new Date().asString()).trigger('change');
  //$('.date-pick').dpSetEndDate('01/01/2010');
 });

This does not work for me. Does this mean that it is a configuration issue? if so what do I need to check is correctly configured?

2010-09-19 13:43:22

you are testing on which operating system and which browser ?

Alpesh 2010-09-19 13:47:19

I am using debian and I have tested with firefox, iceweasel and chrome and getting nothing each time.

2010-09-19 13:48:28

just install firebug ( an addon for mozilla) in your firefox browser. Just check in firebug's console that are you getting any js errors.

Alpesh 2010-09-19 13:57:30

On the scripts tab in firebug, there are no scripts for that page

2010-09-19 14:05:45

Have you tried checking console (first tab) in firebug ? Because if the plugin js file is not loading then it will show error something like this .datepicker is not a function.
