Im trying to incorporate jqueryUI's datepicker inside a partialview like this:
<% using (Ajax.BeginForm("/EditData",
new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST",
UpdateTargetId = "div1" }))
{%>
Date:
<%= Html.TextBox("
date", String.Format("{0:g}", Model.date), new { id = "datePicker"})%>
<% } %>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#datePicker").datepicker();
});
</script>
when i directly call the url to this partial view, so it renders only this view the datepicker works perfectly. (for the purpose of testing this i added the needed jquerry and jquerryui script and css references directly to the partial view)
But if i use a Ajax.Actionlink to load this partial view inside a div (called div2, submitting the above form should update div1) like this:
<div id="div1">
<%= Ajax.ActionLink("Edit", "/EditData", new { id = Model.id }, new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "GET", UpdateTargetId = "div2" } )%>
</div>
<div2>placeholder for the form</div>
the datepicker wont apear anymore.
My best guess is the javascript included in the loaded html doesnt get executed,
($(document).ready(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
}); doesnt work either
if that's the case how and where should i call the $("datepicker").datepicker(); ?
(putting it in the ajaxoptions of the ajax.actionlink as oncomplete = "$(function() {
$('#datepicker').datepicker();});" still doesnt work.
if thats not the case, then where's my problem?
