I recently fixed the issue which looked like this in IE7 ( http://dev.jquery.com/changeset/1566 ) - but the change required a change to the CSS as well as the Javascript. The culprit was a position: relative on div.date-picker-holder. Does my demo page [ http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/ ] break in your browser?

Could the screen edge be detected and the datepicker flipped to the other side of the icon? Jez Hi, Ah - I see. I thought that was just how you cropped the screenshot! At the moment the date picker doesn't detect the edge of the screen and position itself sensibly. This is on my TODO list and would definitely be a useful feature... In the meantime, you can do the change through CSS. See lines 64 and 73 of my CSS file. You could change both of these values to flip which side the date picker appeared on globally. Alternatively , you could do something like I show in this demo: http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/alignDemo.html Hope that helps, Kelvin :) ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

Re: [jQuery] datePicker changes layout
oops. stupid me...I forgot to re-activate the plugin.
The good news is that I think I've found a solution for you:
1., wrap the to in a span:
span class=to to /span
2. add some CSS defs to your stylesheet:
#when input,
#when span.to {
float: left;
}
#where {
clear: left;
}
Hope that works for you. It worked for me when I manipulated the page
using Firebug.

[jQuery] datePicker plugin - inputClick bug fix and other alterations
I've made a few changes to the Kelvin Luck's date picker plugin
(http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/). After adding the
ability to click the input to show the calendar it replaces any
existing css classes that may already exist on it (which I should have
caught when adding it). So I have changed it to use addClass instead
of attr({'class' : '...'}).
Along with that, I have reduced the number of times 'attr' is used:
i.e.
$(a).attr({'title' : 'Foo', 'rel' : 'myrel', 'href' : 'javascript:;'})
becomes:
$(a).title('Foo').rel('myrel').href('javascript:;')
I have left alone those attributes that don't have a shorthand
equivalent (scope, abbr, cellspacing).

I've changed it to use attr to set attributes (addClass is still used
to set the class) and noticed that 'val' was used instead of attr to
get the value (so that has been fixed too). Download link is till the

[jQuery] datePicker plugin - show on input click
At the moment, the date picker plugin
(http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/) uses an anchor added
after the input to show the calendar. What I wanted to do is show it
when I clicked on the input instead.
Also I think it is good practice to add events after adding an element
to the DOM (adding before can cause memory leaks in IE IIRC), so I
have made another tweak to do that.
The fix is as follows (applied to the uncompressed version):
jQuery.fn.datePicker = function(a)
{
this.each(function() {
if(this.nodeName.toLowerCase() != 'input') return;
jQuery.datePicker.setDateWindow(this, a);
if (!jQuery.datePicker.isInited(this)) {
var chooseDate = jQuery.datePicker.getChooseDateStr();
var calBut;
if(a a.inputClick){
calBut =
jQuery(this).attr({'class':'date-picker', 'title':chooseDate})
}
else {
calBut =
jQuery(a).attr({'href':'javascript:;',
'class':'date-picker', 'title':chooseDate})
.append(span + chooseDate + /span);
}
jQuery(this).wrap(
'div class=date-picker-holder/div'
).before(
jQuery(div).attr({'class':'popup-calendar'})
).after(
calBut
);
calBut.click(jQuery.datePicker.show);
jQuery.datePicker.setInited(this);
}
});
};
To use:
$('input#date1').datePicker({inputClick: true});
i.e. add 'inputClick: true' as an option to show the picker when you
click on the input box containing the date.

Glad you like it! but unfortunately he forget the old world in his predefiend dateFormats versions. here in swiss, austria, and german is the . the regular dateFormat separator. so i've changed your plugin a bit and made the formatting/parsing of a date a bit more generic. Sorry - didn't mean to leave anyone out! Thanks for your patch, I've reviewed it and added it into the plugin. This does mean that anyone who upgrades the plugin and who is setting a date format will need to edit their code but it adds a great deal of flexibility. if you find this patch usefull, pls. commit it into the SVN. Done :) btw, i have some feature requests: 1) i need the ability to select a date in the far future (life insurance finalization date ~ +20 years, that should not be on weekend, so i need to lookup into the calendar). i.e. year paging as well as month paging or direkt year selectiong (select box) This must be the most requested feature for the plugin. It's something I originally thought unnecessary but since there has been so many requests for it I am willing to implement it. When I next get a free couple of hours I'll look at adding it in... 2) the possibility to set the weeks startday for example to sunday I did this earlier this week. Check through the plugin's page ( http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/ ) and you will find an example (basically when you initialise the datePicker you pass in a 'firstDayOfWeek' - this allows different datePickers on the same page to start on different days of the week (if you so desire). did you (kevin) plan something like that? if not, i will take this version and start a branch... regards stefan Thanks for the feedback and the patch!

[jQuery] datePicker plugin IE memory leak fixed
Hi,
I have just released an updated version of my date picker plugin:
http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/
Thanks to Sean McKenna who reported a memory leak in IE. This turned out
to be a pretty major one but relatively easy to fix and so I'd recommend
anyone using the date picker to upgrade ASAP...
I would like some advise on the cause of the problem and if there is a
more robust solution. Basically, when the calendar opens IE uses a bunch
more memory (~35MB on my system). When you switch months I was clearing
the old calendar from the DOM by doing this:
$('div.popup-calendar', _openCal).remove();
(basically calling remove on the div that contained it). This wasn't
freeing the memory in IE and another ~35MB or so was being used. And
when you closed the calendar and the pop up div was removed only the
last ~35MB was being freed up. As you can imagine, a recipe for disaster!
My solution was to call:
$('div.popup-calendar', _openCal).empty();
Before the remove command above. Now IE consistently uses ~35MB more
memory while the calendar is open and frees this when the calendar
closes. Much better.
I was wondering if it is expected behaviour to have to call empty before
remove when developing with jQuery or whether this should be done
internally?
One other problem I noticed is that if I chain the two calls (as I
should be able to):
$('div.popup-calendar', _openCal).empty().remove();
Now when the calendar opens it uses ~35MB more memory. When you switch
months for the first time it doubles this to ~70MB more memory. It stays
constant at this while you switch months and then frees the memory when
you close the calendar. It is interesting that the chained methods react
consistently differently to calling the methods one after the other - is
this expected or indicative of another bug?
Sorry for the long email but I'd appreciate it if anyone had any
feedback on these problems,
Cheers,
Kelvin :)

Hello Kelvin. I just want to take the oportunity to give you some suggestions for features I miss in your date picker: I would need a possibility to change the month and year in the popped up window: | | January 2006 | | Something like this, where would switch to the next month and would go the next year. I see that one can currently move forward in months, but not backwars and not in years. -- Milian Wolff http://milianw.de ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
Re: [jQuery] datePicker plugin IE memory leak fixed
Hi Milian, Thanks for the feedback. This is something that has been requested quite a few times. However, I'm still not convinced by the usefulness of it, I have never needed this functionality on a page I have made or used. Since it seems to be a popular request I'll consider adding it in in the future but am too busy to do it at the moment... Re. not being able to move backwards, this depends on how you use the date picker. By default it only lets you select dates in the future but as documented on the plugin's page, you can pass a startDate (and endDate) into the plugin to control which dates people can select. The startDate can be in the past and then a user will be able to select dates back to that date... Cheers, Kelvin :) Milian Wolff wrote: Hello Kelvin.
