Question

Is there a way around getting http://fgelinas.com/code/timepicker/ to work nice with inputs that have the same ID/Name?

Answer 1

No, you can’t force jQuery to play nice with invalid HTML a document with duplicated id attributes is invalid; from the fine specification:

3.2.3.1 The id attribute
[…]
The value must be unique amongst all the IDs in the element’s home subtree

and in your case, the home subtree is probably your whole page.

Fix your HTML to not duplicate id attributes and switch to a different selector:

$('input[name=test]').timepicker();

or add a class to your <input>s and select on that class:

<input name="test" type="text" class="timepicker" />
<input name="test" type="text" class="timepicker" />

and:

$('.timepicker').timepicker();
