Question

Using jQuery Date picker with a custom trigger button.

Answer 1

+4 A:

There's built-in support for this, having an icon or button to right right of the textbox, like this:

$("#datepicker").datepicker({
  showOn: 'button',
  buttonImage: 'images/calendar.gif',
  buttonImageOnly: true
});

If you want to show it from another button, or really any event, call the show method, like this:

$("#myButton").click(function() {
  $("#datepicker").datepicker("show");
});

You can try it here

@pvaju896 - Nope...how are you calling it? Keep in mind that in a user control the ID will be different, you should use classes instead
