I have 2 pages. 1 is the datepicker demo by jQuery and another is an AJAX page to load the datepicker demo page. When I access the datepicker page directly, the date selector is working fine as in the sample. But when I try to load it with an ajax call, the selector just seems not be working at all.
Here is the main.php page code
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {
// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) {
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","development-bundle/demos/datepicker/default.html",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myDiv"><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div>
<button type="button" onclick="loadXMLDoc()">Change Content</button>
</body>
</html>
Here is the datepicker page code (it's just the same demo code from jquery)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../themes/base/jquery.ui.all.css">
<script src="../../jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
<script src="../../ui/jquery.ui.core.js"></script>
<script src="../../ui/jquery.ui.widget.js"></script>
<script src="../../ui/jquery.ui.datepicker.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../demos.css">
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="demo">
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
</div><!-- End demo -->
<div class="demo-description">
<p>The datepicker is tied to a standard form input field. Focus on the input (click, or use the tab key) to open an interactive calendar in a small overlay. Choose a date, click elsewhere on the page (blur the input), or hit the Esc key to close. If a date is chosen, feedback is shown as the input's value.</p>
</div><!-- End demo-description -->
</body>
</html>
I am really lost. The datepicker page just does not work together with the AJAX. Hope someone can help out here.
Try this:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","development-bundle/demos/datepicker/default.html",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
you need to call it when the ajax request has been recived
You need to have in main.php like this
<script>
function activateDatePicker() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
}
</script>
In datepicker page
<input type="text" id="datepicker" onclick="activateDatePicker()">
You should be including javascript in main.php
This should work not the first time but from second time you try to select date
This is what you're after
$('#datepicker').bind('focus', function() {
$(this).datepicker();
});
