OK, thanks for checking back...
Snippet:
swappable(<span class='dueon'>{task.dueOn.toString}</span>,
<span class='chgDueon'>{ajaxText(task.dueOn.toString,
v => { task.dueOn(v.toLong).save; reDrawTasks();
}) % ("size" -> "10")}</span>)
JS:
$chgDueon // jQuery selection for text field
.datepicker({dateFormat:'m-d-yy', minDate: +1})
.blur(function(){$chgDueon.val(parseDate($chgDueon.val()));});
// works well to pick a new date and change it to millis for save
Emitted XHTML:
<span>
<span class="dueon" id="F111290299287IBE"
onclick="jQuery('#'+'F111290299287IBE').hide();
jQuery('#'+'F1112902992880KN').show().each(function(i) {
var t = this; setTimeout(function() { t.focus(); },
200);});return false;;">
1248493271843</span>
<span style="display: none" id="F1112902992880KN"
onblur="jQuery('#'+'F111290299287IBE').show();
jQuery('#'+'F1112902992880KN').hide();">
<input onblur="lift_ajaxHandler('F111290299286DL1=' +
encodeURIComponent(this.value), null, null)"
type="text" value="1248493271843"
onkeypress="lift_blurIfReturn(event)" size="10" />
</span>
</span>
So, all the parts work well together, but Lift's ajax just takes off
too quickly, and cannot read the new value.
