Hi Lara, FYI, the date field is actually going to change in the next HFE release, so it will be handled directly by HFE, instead of doing showCalendar.
The new version will have a visible text field that shows dates in a user-friendly format, and a hidden input that stores the actual value as yyyy-mm-dd. You ought to be able to do a .change jquery listener as you'd expect, though. -Darius On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 5:56 AM, Lara Kellett <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I am currently trying to write a html form that includes jquery functions > to calculate some of the field values (it is a child height weight form > that is calculating z-scores based on the height and weight entered for the > child). > > Everything is working fine when you change the height or the weight > fields, however I need to be able to detect when the encounter date field > on the form is changed (so I can recalculate the values based on the > child's age on the encounter date).
