I've been using jQuery UI Datepicker all along with ActiveScaffold and
have had no problems. Now I'm overriding an input form with my own
custom form (see below) and am having problems. What is the best way to
do this?
First I tried just including various combinations of classes on the
input to match 'text-input date_picker hasDatepicker date-input' which I
see on ActiveScaffold forms. That did not do anything.
Then I added this to application.js:
$(".datepicker").live("click", function(){
$(this).datepicker();
});
and used the datepicker class, not to conflict with ActiveScaffold's
date_picker. This works fine except that the widget does not pop up
until I have clicked the input, clicked any other input, then clicked
the input again. If I throw in a style change like making a red border,
that works on the first click, so I know the script is picking up the
first click and calling datepicker, but somehow it does not do anything.
Wrapping the function in $(function() { }); does not make any
difference. The form is contained within a div with
class='active-scaffold', but this seems not to matter either. Once the
picker has appeared and is closed, a single click is enough to
re-activate it.
So,
* Is there a way to attach Datepicker to my own forms without
adding any Javascript, given that it is working in
ActiveScaffold-generated forms?
* If not, any ideas about why the first click is not working?
Thanks.

Form I'm using:
.active-scaffold
%h4 Create a travel plan
.new_travel
= form_for :record, :url => { :action => "create" } do |form|
.traveler_names
= render 'shared/error_messages', :object => @record
= form.label :member,"", :class=>'required'
%br
= form.collection_select(:member,
Member.select("last_name, first_name, middle_name, short_name,
name, id").order("name"),
:id, :name, {}, :multiple=>true)
%br
= form.label :other_travelers, "Travelers not listed above"
%br
= form.text_field :other_travelers, :class =>
'other_travelers-input'
.travel_date
= form.label :date, :class=>'required'
%br
= form.text_field :date, :class => 'date-input datepicker '
