I’m a newbie to JQuery and JQueryUI and I’ve run into a bit of a problem w/ the .button() and .buttonset() on my project.
When I follow the example on the JQueryUI page everything works fine. My page, however, is creating buttons as a function and after they are created the button text shows up but the button is not clickable.
Here is the source link: http://mdihosting.com/5/Projects/form/test1.html
After the append in the source below this – $('#epcf-wrap').buttonset(); – does not result in a clickable button.
I’ve also tried $('#epcf-wrap').buttonset('refresh');

You need to add a
forattribute to thelabeltags that corresponds to theidof theinput. For whatever reason, they way you are adding theforattribute doesn’t seem to be working. And, remove thetoLowerCase(). It won’t work unless they match case.Maybe you just need a space after
for:But, if it still doesn’t work, try:
