Question

I am trying to trigger a datepicker() object on input textboxes. So all inputs with the .dateField class would trigger a datepicker() on click/focus. But it isnt working.
It does not work the first time i click. If i click outside the box and then again click inside the box, it works.

$(".dateField").bind('click focus change', function(){
            $(this).datepicker();
        })

The datepicker function equips your input with all the needed callbacks and code.

It is not meant to be called as a reaction to “click” or “focus”.

It should be called only once, at initialization :

$(function(){
    $(".dateField").datepicker();
});
