$.('<div id="datepicker" />').datePicker({}).appendTo
("#MyDatePickerTextBox");
I tried the above as you mentioned... it threw an error... not
supported method/property...
is the syntax at the beginning $. correct?
I also tried without the dot after the dollar sign... no luck...
I need to be more specific in my description of the goal...
The goal is to dynamically create a text box within a hidden DIV tag.
That text box then is the element we use to attach the datepicker
to... the date picker must be attached to it BEFORE the text box is
officially attached to the DOM anywhere... so the text box element
object just exists as a javascript object variable until much later in
the script when we finally DO attach it to the DOM.
Make sense? Please reply.
