Question

I need to make the datepicker show when I click on a link and then send the selected date to a different page through a post call.

T tried to use this code for the link call:

$(".click-on-link").click(function(){
    $('#datepicker').datepicker({
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
        firstDay: 1
    });
});

and the html:

<a class="click-on-link" href="#">show datepicker</a>

but it’s not working. Any idea?

Thanks!

$(function() {
    $(".click-on-link").click(function() {
        $('#datepicker').datepicker({
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
            firstDay: 1,
            onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
                alert(dateText) // make your AJAX call!
            }
        }).focus(); //make the datepicker appear!
    });
});
