The following example displays simple use of the datePicker component to select a date for input fields. clickInput is passed in as true which means you can pop the datePicker up by clicking in the input field. You can also pass createButton:false if you don't want the calendar link to appear next to the input.
$(function()
{
$('.date-pick').datePicker({clickInput:true})
});
/* located in demo.css and creates a little calendar icon
* instead of a text link for "Choose date"
*/
a.dp-choose-date {
float: left;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
padding: 0;
margin: 5px 3px 0;
display: block;
text-indent: -2000px;
overflow: hidden;
background: url(calendar.png) no-repeat;
}
a.dp-choose-date.dp-disabled {
background-position: 0 -20px;
cursor: default;
}
/* makes the input field shorter once the date picker code
* has run (to allow space for the calendar icon
*/
input.dp-applied {
width: 140px;
float: left;
}
