DHTMLX Calendar onChange
- by Sickaaron
I am having an issue with the DHTMLX Calendar with the onChange in the input field.
I am initialisating the code with the following:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var calendar;
calendar = new dhtmlXCalendarObject(["date"]);
calendar.hideTime();
calendar.setDateFormat("%d/%m/%Y");
$('.lightbox').lightbox();
$('#slider').cycle();
});
function checkDate() {
var date = $("[name='date']").val();
alert(date);
}
In the form i am using:
<input type="text" name="date" id="date" onchange="checkDate();" />
How it should be (and was working with JQuery UI datepicker) once the date is entered into the input field the onchange function would fire. However in this case: the onchange with this calendar does nothing.
I have tried changing the following to this:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var calendar;
calendar = new dhtmlXCalendarObject(["date"]);
calendar.hideTime();
calendar.setDateFormat("%d/%m/%Y");
calendar.attachEvent("onChange",function(date, state){
checkDate();
});
$('.lightbox').lightbox();
$('#slider').cycle();
});
function checkDate() {
var date = $("[name='date']").val();
alert(date);
}
But the onchange event happens before the date is entered, ie when i click on the input field.
Reason for changing from JQuery UI to this DHTMLX is that JQuery UI Datepicker does not support all platforms (iPhones/iPads etc) and DHTMLX does.
