[jQuery] Re: datepicker select to update a div, and strange datepicker css issue

[pedalpete]

I've made some progress with this, but my code is looking really
strange.

To rehash, I am trying to get the datepicker to update a span, not an
input.
But i was getting an error.
Now I can update the span, but I can't split the date variable before
I update (it gives blank time and gmt details that I don't need
anyway).

For some reason I have to have a space before the selectedDate
variable, or it isn't recognized and i get an error.
Anybody know why this is?

Here's my working code...

[code]
        $('.dateItem')
                .datePicker({inline:true})
                .bind(
                        'dateSelected',
                        function(e, selectedDate, $td)
                        {
                                var getDate = ' '+selectedDate;
                                var splitDate = getDate.split("00:00:00");
                                $('.holdDate').html(splitDate[0]);
                        }
                );
        [/code]
