so I have datepicker working just fine in a normal window but I cannot for the life of me get it to work within a dialog.
I have some javascript that opens a dialog in my application.js file as well as the datepicker js is as follows:
$(function() { $("#version_release_date").datepicker({dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'}); });
$(document).ready(function() { $('a.popup').click(function() { $('<div />').appendTo('body').load($(this).attr('href') + ' form').dialog({ title: $(this).text() } }); return false; }); });
now the first function works fine if I just go straight to that page but if the page is rendered via the second function in a dialog the datepicker no longer appears.
this is where the dialog is created: <%= link_to 'Close Escalation', new_version_path, :class => 'popup' %>
these are my includes <%= stylesheet_link_tag "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/ jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/redmond/jquery-ui.css", "application" %> <%= javascript_include_tag "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/ jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js", "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/ jqueryui/1.8.1/jquery-ui.min.js", "application" %> <%= javascript_include_tag "jquery.rails.js" %>
any help is appreciated. basically from what I can tell I can't get any javascript to work in the dialog.
I even tried adding the script to the page but that didn't work either.
Thanks, Dal
