Jeditable with jQuery UI Datepicker
- by BrynJ
I need to have a click to edit element on a page, that will in turn invoke an instance of the jQuery UI Datepicker.
Currently, I'm using JEditable to provide the in place editing, which is working fine. However, I have a date control input that I would like to have appear as a calendar, which is where the fun starts.
I've found a Comment in the this blog by Calle Kabo (the page is a little mashed unfortunately) that details a way to do this:
$.editable.addInputType("datepicker", {
element: function(settings, original) {
var input = $("<input type=\"text\" name=\"value\" />");
$(this).append(input);
return(input);
},
plugin: function(settings, original) {
var form = this;
$("input", this).filter(":text").datepicker({
onSelect: function(dateText) { $(this).hide(); $(form).trigger("submit"); }
});
}
});
However, I can't get the above to work - no errors, but no effect either. I've tried placing it within the jQuery document ready function and also outside of it - no joy.
My UI Datepicker class is date-picker and my Jeditable class is ajaxedit, I'm sure the above inaction is due to the need to reference them somehow in the code, but I don't know how. Also, the Jeditable control is one of many element ids, if that has a bearing.
Any ideas from those more in the know?
