Hello All, Having an issue setting the date of a datepicker after it's been initialized. I call the init function on page load, and the datepicker resides in a hidden div that becomes a modal dialog. When they click on an area of the page the dialog is launched and it's at this time that I want to set the date. Here is some code I'm using to try and achieve this, it's not working ,but it's not erroring either.
//THE INIT FUNCTION $('#update_appt_datepicker').datepicker({ showButtonPanel: true, dateFormat: 'DD MM dd, yy', altField: '#update_formated_date', altFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' }); //THEN LATER $('#appt_list_ul li').click(function(){ //get the appt details var cur_date = $('#edit_formated_date').val(); //2009-03-15 var date_pieces = cur_date.split('-'); var date_obj = new Date(date_pieces[0],(date_pieces[1] * 1) - 1,date_pieces[2]); //date_obj.setFullYear(date_pieces[0],(date_pieces[1] * 1) - 1,date_pieces[2]); //passin the date to the edit calendar $('#update_appt_datepicker').datepicker('option', {defaultDate:date_obj}); //pass in the time //open the dialog $("#edit_appt_dialog").dialog('open'); }); I get the modal popup just fine, however the date picker has the current date selected instead of the one I'm trying to pass to it. If I alert the date_obj I get the full string of the date, so I know I have a workable date object. Thanks!
