At the moment, the date picker plugin
(http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/) uses an anchor added
after the input to show the calendar. What I wanted to do is show it
when I clicked on the input instead.
Also I think it is good practice to add events after adding an element
to the DOM (adding before can cause memory leaks in IE IIRC), so I
have made another tweak to do that.
The fix is as follows (applied to the uncompressed version):
jQuery.fn.datePicker = function(a)
{
this.each(function() {
if(this.nodeName.toLowerCase() != 'input') return;
jQuery.datePicker.setDateWindow(this, a);
if (!jQuery.datePicker.isInited(this)) {
var chooseDate = jQuery.datePicker.getChooseDateStr();
var calBut;
if(a && a.inputClick){
calBut =
jQuery(this).attr({'class':'date-picker', 'title':chooseDate})
}
else {
calBut =
jQuery("<a>").attr({'href':'javascript:;',
'class':'date-picker', 'title':chooseDate})
.append("<span>" + chooseDate + "</span>");
}
jQuery(this).wrap(
'<div class="date-picker-holder"></div>'
).before(
jQuery("<div>").attr({'class':'popup-calendar'})
).after(
calBut
);
calBut.click(jQuery.datePicker.show);
jQuery.datePicker.setInited(this);
}
});
};
To use:
$('input#date1').datePicker({inputClick: true});
i.e. add 'inputClick: true' as an option to show the picker when you
click on the input box containing the date.
