Question

I’m fairly new to the whole JQuery/javascript world, but I’ve managed to wack together a working jqgrid with a datepicker & custom control (used jquery auto complete) based on code samples i found on the net. I’ve added the code to a T4 template in my project as it’ll probably act as a base/starting point for most pages. (Side note. I’m using asp.net MVC)

JFIDDLE: LINK

1.) I’d like to move the initDateEdit & initDateSearch to the same function (using a parameter, to disable/enable the showOn property) as they are basically similar.

2.) How would be the best way to set nonWorkingDates from outside the new function/file. same applies to the autocomplete_element (I’d like to specify the url)

Changing

“function nonWorkingDates(date)” to => “function nonWorkingDates(date, nonWorkingDates)”

isn’t working, (guess it’s got got something to do with how its gets called “beforeShowDay: nonWorkingDates“)

Thanks in advance!

If you have a chunk of JS code like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
   ... code goes here ...
</script>

You simply copy the whole thing, eliminate the containing script tags, and save the raw code

... code goes here ...

to a file, which you then include with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="yourfile.js"></script>

However, since you’re using jquery, you’ll have to make sure that this above snippet is placed AFTER the script tag that loads up jquery, or you’ll get a “no such function” syntax error.
