One possible reasons is because a string contains only date information (no time information). When I convert it to a Date object I convert it to midnight of that day and this is the specific date/time that is used for all comparisons. If you passed in a Date object I would need to .zeroTime it to make sure all the comparisons worked and avoid any possibly hard to track down bugs...

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
A tricky one...or perhaps not.
My feeling is that the datePicker is there to replace not enhance the input
field.
I'm not overly pleased with the blur() method as it breaks tabbing between
fields.
I didn't know that autocomplete could be suppressed (thank you!), but I
think that would be the most elegant solution.

Hi,
I think that it might make sense to make the plugin disable autocomplete
(set autocomplete=off on the input element) where clickInput = true...
Do you think this would make sense? Then again, what about if a user
tabs into the field and you want them to be able to autocomplete? If
this is a consideration then maybe your suggestion is most elegant (and
I can add the blur into the plugin). Does anyone have any suggestions on
this?

Just my opinion: both Date and String should be supported. It's probably only two lines of code to check for type, and cast to the other type if necessary. - Brian There's a bug or documentation error with dpSetSelected() [revision #1993] : it's documented as taking a string, but the code for it requires a Date (due to using .getMonth(), .getFullYear() and .getTime()). To fix this problem I added the line d = new Date(d); to the start of dpSetSelected(). It's a documentation error.

In my case the solution was already stated on the demo page. :(
You need to take the styles a.dp-choose-date,
a.dp-choose-date.dp-disabled, and input.dp-applied from demo.css (or
copied from the bottom of his demo page) into your datePicker.css file.
You can keep the files separate but I prefer to keep all the datePicker
styles in one file since I always use the icon.
Hope this helps!

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
Well, I've finally taken the plunge and started playing with datePicker.
Can I join everyone in thanking you for this excellent plugin.
Suggestions for a few changes, mainly ones which increased the time it took
for me to integrate it into a page without hacking the source:
== Change the clickInput option to be clickElement instead ==
I wanted to use span as my datePicker element to prevent manual editing:
forcing the use of a text input means making it disabled and re-enabling it
on form submission, or using javascript to prevent modification.
== Change the a created with createButton:true ==
I like the automatic creation of the a but dislike the default content
being text and the image being background: it means either CSS is required
to hide the content or JS to remove the content and CSS to display properly.
I've had to resort to adding my own a in the HTML and setting its
behaviour myself:
a href=javascript:choose_date('dateFrom')
img src=/images/calendar.gif alt=[choose date] /
/a
My suggestion would be to allow the content of the a to be set in the
options if desired.
Also, is there a particular reason why $.dpDisplay() returns a value? It
means that to use it from the href of an a it has to be wrapped in another
function call returning nothing to prevent the browser from navigating away
when it's called from the href.
Just as an aside: the first sentence of documentation of dpSetOffset() on
http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/documentation.html is
from the dpDisplay() function instead.
Is datePicker v2 still considered to be in beta?

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
Thanks for the feedback Luke...
Is there any way to use the datePicker with the keyboard? I couldn't
figure out how to open it without clicking the calendar icon (which I
couldn't tab to).
I can pop up the calendar with the keyboard (in Firefox 2 and IE 6) - I can tab
to it and then press return and it appears. But... This isn't much good because
you can't select dates using the keyboard. It would definitely be nice to have
full keyboard control but it's not a priority for me at the moment (especially
since it will probably add a fair amount to the file size of the plugin).
When you're building the calendar, you might want to use the DOM methods
(i.e. $(document.createElement('table')) for creating certain elements
-- table, thead, tr, etc. --, it's much faster than $('table/table')
in Safari.
Cool - thanks for the advise. I've implemented this in the version is svn
(branches\kelvin-dev\plugins\datePicker) and it seems to have given an
approximately 10% speed increase to renderCalendar in the PC browsers. Can you
let me know if it's helped in Safari?
Thanks,
Kelvin :)

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
Works flawlessly in Safari 2.0.4 (build 419.3), comparing functionality and rendering with Firefox 2. However, there is a possible bug in this demo: http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/datePickerIntoSelects.html It lets you select invalid dates, such as Feb 31 with the dropdowns. While the resulting date in the calendar is sane (Mar 3 in the non-leap year that I tested with), there might be some validation code missing somewhere. Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Re. the invalid dates, I'm not sure where this should be corrected. You don't want to stop someone from selecting 31 in the date dropdown just because the month dropdown is on Feb (as they may be selecting 31 and then planning to change the month dropdown). I've made a bit of a compromise which is that when you open the date picker it will now automatically update the selects to the date selected in the date picker. Does this make sense to you? Obviously you would want to validate the dates in the selects before submitting if this was a real form but this tweak means that at least the date you see in the date picker is synchronised with the date on the selects..

Can you provide a triggerEvent(keyup|focus|change) parameter that will trigger the specified event in the attached input element when the date picker changes its value? There are a number of custom events fired when the date picker is used. The following two might be interesting to you in this instance: When a date is selected a dateSelected event is triggered on the relevant element and when the datePicker is closed a dpClosed event is fired. You can see these events being used in the datePicker with custom listener, datePicker with multiple select and Start and end date pickers demos. Do these events do what you need? Cheers, Kelvin :)

it appears in IE7 that if you have clickInput: false you cannot drag to
select the text in the input field anymore.
I presume you mean if you have clickInput:true? The simple answer is not to use
clickInput:true if you want people to be able to select the text! To tell the
truth I wouldn't particulaly recommend using clickInput:true, it doesn't seem
to intuitive or accessible to me - I just implemented it because it was a
feature request from the old version of the plugin.
also, i'd like to request that there be a 'Go To Today' link added (or
add-able).
That should be easy enough to add yourself if you want to. Something like the
following (untested):
$('DATEPICKER_ELEMENT').setSelectedDate((new Date()).asString())
(obviously with DATEPICKER_ELEMENT replaced by an expression to select the
element you have bound the date picker to).
Hope that helps,

New demo here: http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/datePickerDisabled.h tml Just a quick behavioral quirk I noticed. After disabling the field, the cursor shows as the pointer/hand when you mouse over where the calendar button is. I'm sure you hide the anchor instead of setting the display to none so that the layout doesn't change, but I could see this as a confusing behavior. Also, when you're tabbing through the DOM elements (using the [TAB] key) it'll stop on the hidden anchor. You could probably solve this problem by setting the original a href / anchor to display: none and then inserting a a name / anchor in its place (with a visibility: hidden.)

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
It's a .NET thing. The ASP.NET paradigm is to write your page in a server-side language (usually C#), and the server-side object gets rendered into whatever is viewed on the client side. It would be pretty involved, though, because the plugin is dependent on jQuery (and bgiframe, and the Date methods). The way to do it is probably to create an element (class) for each dependency, to be instantiated in the ASP page, and then do some exception-handling for when the dependencies are missing. I believe that there's a way to have it error at compile-time, so you can see right in Visual Studio if you forgot to include something. My C# is pretty rusty, but it would be worthwhile for someone to do a jQuery for ASP project. I'm not sure that I'll have a lot of time to devote to it, but I can kind of see how it would be done. - Brian Looks fantastic, Kelvin!

Thanks for the explanation Citrus. I'm strictly a front-end designer, so I don't really understand the whole .NET paradigm, or why it needs to be a server-side control.

It's easy enough to simply code the script tags right into the page. But, from an engineering standpoint, I can see why the dev manager wants to keep everything as an ASP.NET control. His people are probably mostly .NET people who use C# or VB.NET . - Brian Thanks for the explanation Citrus. I'm strictly a front-end designer, so I don't really understand the whole .NET paradigm, or why it needs to be a server-side control. I've already introduced jQuery and several plugins into the mix, and the .NET developers love it. I'll try and get a better explanation from them. Citrus wrote: It's a .NET thing.

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
I would guess this is not going to happen any time soon. There are a lot of date pickers for ASP.NET already, including one distributed by Microsoft as part of their Ajax library. They way ASP.NET pages get converted to HTML when viewed by the user makes it hard to use any JavaScript library that is not specifically coded for ASP.NET. -Mike Chabot On 4/25/07, Brian Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's a .NET thing.

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
I only just received this email even though it looks like it was sent yesterday... Is anyone else still having issues with the list lagging? Looking good. Lots of examples - although it would be nice to have some CSS samples as well (or 'style packs' - Outlook 2003, Google Calendar etc) Yeah - that would be nice... If anyone wants to contribute some I'll gladly add them in :) Just need a time picker to complement it. I have worked on one (http://www.texotela.co.uk/code/jquery/ timepicker/), but am unsure how to scroll to the currently selected time (like how it does in Google calendar when creating an event) as well as some other bugs (one of which can be fixed if I used the dimensions plugin). Cool - the timepicker looks nice... Are you working on it now? I'm sure I saw the link through the google groups interface earlier and it looked completely different. It was using a select element then? And now you are creating some divs?
[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
I've found some issues in Opera 9: * Sometimes the calendar doesn't render instantly when browsing fast through the dates, which makes it close unintentionally. I've fixed it by setting a fixed hight and width on div#dp-popup in the CSS. Yes - I was able to replicate this by clicking like a maniac. It doesn't seem to effect FF or IE... I've added min-height and min-width to the CSS... * When the calendar _starts_ with an arrow disabled the hand cursor doesn't turn up again even though it's enabled. I managed to replicate this and have fixed it. Well - worked around it. To be honest it looked like a bug in Opera but it works if your rules are a bit more specific. Grab the updated stylesheet from my site... I also have some questions: :) * Would it be trivial to not use the dimension plugin (ok, it's only 4.7 kb packed but anyway..)? I've done some CSS tests (think I might have showed it to you some time ago) which positions a DIV to e.g an input using CSS. I think Drupal uses a similar technique when positioning an autocomplete dropdown: http://perifer.se/test/datepickerCSS.htm I don't think so. Considering that the date picker should work in any situation in any page. I think a lot of work has gone into making the dimensions plugin capable of doing exactly that would result in reinventing the wheel and probably making it slightly less round! By the way, the way the calendar is attached is different to how you show it in that demo, it is now attached to the end of the body and positioned absolutely (to allow more flexibility in positioning it in more situations). * Is email the preferred way or reporting bugs in plugins (in SVN) or should Trac (http://dev.jquery.com/newticket) be used instead? Not sure in general but I would prefer email to the list while this plugin is in beta. Once it is released then Trac would probably make sense. It looks like the new plugins page will be somehow linked into the Trac system anyway which will help with this... Excellent plugin! /Anders Thanks! Kelvin :)

Does the Date.format field get reference within the datepicker function or does
it get copied when the function is run initially.
So...
Date.format = FORMAT_1
jQuery('#1').datepicker();
Date.format = FORMAT_2
jQuery(#2).datepicker();
What will a date from #1 look like when it is opened and used down the
road...FORMAT_1 or FORMAT_2?

you are right. I just like to have customizations like that written right
there in the code where I apply the calendar plugin so future developers will
see it rather than have to hunt for the source of the date format. doesn't
really matter, its up to you.
It won't hurt to reset the date format in your page if you like. Just do
something like:
Date.format = 'dd mmm ';
Obviously whatever you set in your page will override what is set in the
date.js file.

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
Kevin, thanks for the fantastic work, almost all my wishes for v1 have come thru. I have already implemented v1 in my page which uses google-adwords style datepickers. This means, one radio button followed by a select with quick options like today ,yesterday, this week last month etc. Below that, the other radiobutton followed by two inputs with datePicker.v1 attached to select the exact period. If radiobutton for quick select is chosen(default), I disable the two inputs, however the two datePicker calendar-icons are still active of course. I solved it with an ugly CSS-hack which overlays the datePicker icons with greyed out icons, so user clicks are not working anymore. Long story short, it would be nice to be able to set datePicker in disabled mode ;-) In disabled mode, the calendar-icon would get another class and clicks would not be working. But I guess this is a bit of a curious feature request ;-) Anyway, thanks for the new version !

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta
Kelvin, The size of the calendar is totally controlled via CSS so yes - you can configure it with CSS... cool :o) The date picker is implemented as a popup but did you see the renderCalendar examples? These allow you to draw a calendar table into any element in your document. I'll have a think about allowing date pickers to be placed in an element of your document, I can see where this would be useful (and it would allow you to have multiple date pickers open at the same time too), Yes! Yes! I'm working on a big project now (a scheduler program for what amounts to a temp agency), and I've just implemented a screen with three calendars which act in concert. The three calendars are placed vertically on top of one another and when the user clicks to go forward or backward either a month or three months at a time, all of the calendars change accordingly. Thanks for considering my feedback! :o) Cheers, Chris Thanks for the feedback, Kelvin :) -- http://cjordan.info

Very cool - I can finally replace xin :) One thing I had to hack into that code was the ability to trigger an event on the input field programatically after selecting the date. Can you provide a triggerEvent(keyup|focus|change) parameter that will trigger the specified event in the attached input element when the date picker changes its value?

This release is a complete rewrite which makes the date picker considerably more powerful and flexible than it previously was. Check out the temporary project page: http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/ Note, this is currently in beta and may be a little rough around the edges but I'd love to get some feedback. I've tested in FF2, IE6 and Opera 9 but it would be good to know if it works in other browsers (particulaly Safari).
