I have dynamically created textboxes, and I want each of them to be able to display a calendar on click. The code I am using is:
$(".datepicker_recurring_start" ).datepicker();
Which will only work on the first textbox, even though all my textboxes have a class called datepicker_recurring_start.
Your help is much appreciated!
This question is related to
javascript

datepicker
$( ".datepicker_recurring_start" ).each(function(){
$(this).datepicker({
dateFormat:"dd/mm/yy",
yearRange: '2000:2012',
changeYear: true,
changeMonth: true
});
});
Excellent answer by skafandri +1
This is just updated to check for hasDatepicker class.
$('body').on('focus',".datepicker", function(){
if( $(this).hasClass('hasDatepicker') === false ) {
$(this).datepicker();
}
});
This is what worked for me on JQuery 1.3 and is showing on the first click/focus
function vincularDatePickers() {
$('.mostrar_calendario').live('click', function () {
$(this).datepicker({ showButtonPanel: true, changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, showOn: 'focus' }).focus();
});
}
this needs that your input have the class 'mostrar_calendario'
Live is for JQuery 1.3+ for newer versions you need to adapt this to "on"
See more about the difference here http://api.jquery.com/live/
I have modified @skafandri answer to avoid re-apply the datepicker
constructor to all inputs with .datepicker_recurring_start
class.
Here's the HTML:
<div id="content"></div>
<button id="cmd">add a datepicker</button>
Here's the JS:
$('#cmd').click(function() {
var new_datepicker = $('<input type="text">').datepicker();
$('#content').append('<br>a datepicker ').append(new_datepicker);
});
here's a working demo
The new method for dynamic elements is MutationsObserver .. The following example uses underscore.js to use ( _.each ) function.
MutationObserver = window.MutationObserver || window.WebKitMutationObserver || window.MozMutationObserver;
var observerjQueryPlugins = new MutationObserver(function (repeaterWrapper) {
_.each(repeaterWrapper, function (repeaterItem, index) {
var jq_nodes = $(repeaterItem.addedNodes);
jq_nodes.each(function () {
// Date Picker
$(this).parents('.current-repeateritem-container').find('.element-datepicker').datepicker({
dateFormat: "dd MM, yy",
showAnim: "slideDown",
changeMonth: true,
numberOfMonths: 1
});
});
});
});
observerjQueryPlugins.observe(document, {
childList: true,
subtree: true,
attributes: false,
characterData: false
});
For me below jquery worked:
changing "body" to document
$(document).on('focus',".datepicker_recurring_start", function(){
$(this).datepicker();
});
Thanks to skafandri
Note: make sure your id is different for each field
You need to run the .datepicker();
again after you've dynamically created the other textbox elements.
I would recommend doing so in the callback method of the call that is adding the elements to the DOM.
So lets say you're using the JQuery Load method to pull the elements from a source and load them into the DOM, you would do something like this:
$('#id_of_div_youre_dynamically_adding_to').load('ajax/get_textbox', function() {
$(".datepicker_recurring_start" ).datepicker();
});
None of the other solutions worked for me. In my app, I'm adding the date range elements to the document using jquery and then applying datepicker to them. So none of the event solutions worked for some reason.
This is what finally worked:
$(document).on('changeDate',"#elementid", function(){
alert('event fired');
});
Hope this helps someone because this set me back a bit.
you can add the class .datepicker in a javascript function, to be able to dynamically change the input type
$("#ddlDefault").addClass("datepicker");
$(".datepicker").datetimepicker({ timepicker: false, format: 'd/m/Y', });
Make sure your element with the .date-picker
class does NOT already have a hasDatepicker
class. If it does, even an attempt to re-initialize with $myDatepicker.datepicker();
will fail! Instead you need to do...
$myDatepicker.removeClass('hasDatepicker').datepicker();
This was what worked for me (using jquery datepicker):
$('body').on('focus', '.datepicker', function() {
$(this).removeClass('hasDatepicker').datepicker();
});
