Question

i got a problem with the datetimepicker from this site:

http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/

this is the js-code:

var dates = $("#ArrivalStartDatepicker").datetimepicker({

defaultDate: "+lw",

dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy',

changeMonth: true,

numberOfMonths: 2,

ampm: true,

stepMinute: 10,

minuteGrid: 10,

onSelect: function (selectedDate) {

// var option = this.id == "ArrivalStartDatepicker" ? "minDate" : "maxDate",

// instance = $(this).data("datetimepicker"),

document.getElementById("TotalLabel").value = $.datetimepicker.parseDate('yy-mm-dd', '2012-05-23');

// instance.settings.dateFormat ||

// $.datetimepicker._defaults.dateFormat,

// selectedDate, instance.settings);

// dates.not(this).datetimepicker("option", option, date);

// document.getElementById("TotalLabel").value = date;

}

});  

here is my html-code
for the datetimepicker

<div class="txtTravel" id="DatetimePickerContainer1">
<input id="ArrivalStartDatetimepicker" type="text" name="datetimepicker" placeholder="dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm am"/>
</div>

this is the head of this .aspx-site

    <div id="MyAccordion">

the problem is that the datetimepicker is shown if I open the site but as soon as I select a date or a time firebug throws an error called “$.datetimepicker is undefined”

this error is thrown in this line “document.getElementById("TotalLabel").value = $.datetimepicker.parseDate('yy-mm-dd', '2012-05-23');“

I wanted to passthrough the value I selected in the datetimepicker to my codebehind c# methods.
where is my problem?

I imported all of the needed js files and in my opinion i got the right order how I imported them.

The parseDate method is not from the plugin, it’s from jquery ui.
Replace $.datetimepicker.parseDate(...) with $.datepicker.parseDate(...):

document.getElementById("TotalLabel").value = $.datepicker.parseDate('yy-mm-dd', '2012-05-23');
