[jQuery] Re: jquery validate and datepicker.
Thanks Karl. I will direct any ui questions to the UI group from now on. That said, I appreciate your help. :) Kind regards, William On Sep 14, 11:04 am, Karl Swedberg wrote: > Hi, > > Sorry you haven't received a response yet.

Hi, Sorry you haven't received a response yet. Usually Jörn picks up questions about the validate picker, but he's been traveling for the past week. Also, datepicker questions are usually handled on the jquery-ui google group. In any case, it looks like the the validation message is triggered on blur of the field. I don't recall how datepicker works, but I would sort of expect the focus to go back to the date input element when a date is selected from the datepicker. Since that isn't happening now, you can make it happen by adding an onClose or onSelect method to your datepicker options: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#event-onSelect That way, the validation thing will be triggered when the user clicks or tabs out of the field after that point. Hope that helps. --Karl Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Sep 13, 2009, at 6:45 PM, Williamk wrote: Was it something I said?

I have to select the date twice for it to validate. For example, here are the steps I took: I try to submit the form without dates in the fields. The form is not sent and the date fields are flagged. If you open it once and select a date, the calendar closes, but it still shows as invalid. If you repeat this action, selecting the same exact field and opening the calendar and selecting the date again, then it shows as valid. I'm not sure how to shoehorn this into validating on the first click on the calendar. And to be honest, I'm terrified I'm going to get flamed over this. I generally consider myself pretty resourceful, but this is making me a little bit loco.
