I’m using a jquery-ui datepicker in a Rails 3 app. The datepicker is currently tied to a text field.
What is the best way to ensure that this degrades gracefully? i.e. it would make more sense to have the datepicker tied to an HTML5 date select field, but I’m having trouble implementing this as it doesn’t seem to be readily supported by jquery.
Has anyone else run into this issue, and if so, how have you tackled it?
Thanks for any ideas.
it still works in the demo (no CSS though), even with
<input type="date">.the new HTML5 input elements degrade to a
type="text"if the browser doesn’t support them. thus, you can add date-picker to atype="date"input.and if you fear that there might be a “double-effect” where the natural date-picker goes with the jQuery date-picker, then take a look at this article to detect if an element is supported, and selectively apply your date-picker.
