Question

I am trying to create a date range layout in a form. I am using jquery datepicker. When user selects first date, second date should open automatically. However, the second datepicker flickers first, i.e. it opens then closes then opens again. This is in IE8/Win, in FF15/Win, it opens then closes and that’s it, it disappears.

Answer 1

Looks like a timing issue. Try entering a small delay via setTimeout like this jsFiddle example.

setTimeout(function(){$("#calEndDate").datepicker('show');},10);
