I'm trying to setup my css menu so that one of the text links triggers a datepicker calandar to open. I have stripped everything down to the code below. The problem I am experiencing is that the code below does not work but when I remove the ul, li tags it starts working.
I am using 1.8.0 JQuery and 1.8.23 JQuery UI.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dp").datepicker({
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
alert(dateText);
},
});
$("#datep").click(function() {
$("#dp").datepicker("show");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><a href="#" id="datep">Test</a><input type="hidden" id="dp" /></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Some weird things I have noticed. If I move the input under the ul it works kind of but will get an error after a few clicks on and off but if I add empty div under that input then it will start working normally it seems.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
