I’m needing some help with the datepicker use in mobile app.

I’m using the jQuery UI datepicker in my app. But the datepicker is show twice (duplicate) when I put it in the second page. However when I put the datepicker in the first page, is shown ok.

This is an example, if you run it you can see that the datepicker is duplicate in second page.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
    <title>Datepicker Test</title> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a3/jquery.mobile-1.0a3.min.css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a3/experiments/ui-datepicker/jquery.ui.datepicker.mobile.css" />
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.min.js"></script>

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a3/jquery.mobile-1.0a3.min.js"></script>
</head> 
<body> 

<!-- Start of first page -->
<div data-role="page" id="firstPage">
    <div data-role="header">
        <h1>First page</h1>
    </div><!-- /header -->

    <div data-role="content">   
        <p><a href="#secondPage">Next page with a Datepicker</a></p>    

    </div><!-- /content -->

    <div data-role="footer">
        <h4>Page Footer</h4>
    </div><!-- /footer -->

</div><!-- /page -->

<!-- Start of second page -->
<div data-role="page" id="secondPage">
    <div data-role="header">
        <h1>Second page</h1>
    </div><!-- /header -->

    <div data-role="content">   
        <label for="date">Date Input:</label>
        <input type="date" name="date" id="date" value=""  />
    </div><!-- /content -->

    <div data-role="footer">
        <h4>Page Footer</h4>
    </div><!-- /header -->
</div><!-- /page -->

</body>
</html>

Thanks for help me in advance.

    Finally we got a solution from one of my Project manager. We have to do one work around in jquery.ui.datepicker.mobile.js.

    Replace the following method using below code.

    $( ".ui-page" ).live( "pagecreate", function(){     
    $( "input[type='date'], input[data-type='date']" ).each(function(){
        if ($(this).hasClass("hasDatepicker") == false) {
            $(this).after( $( "<div />" ).datepicker({ altField: "#" + $(this).attr( "id" ), showOtherMonths: true }) );
            $(this).addClass("hasDatepicker");
        }
    }); 
});

    The above function pagecreate will call every time page load. The same date picker creation ine will execute while navigating to next page. So we have added a condition to execute this line only one time during page load. Now it is working fine.
