<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css" />
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
});



</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker" onClick=alert("error") /></p>
<button type="button" value="submit" onClick="document.getElementById("datepicker").click()">submit </button>
</body>

    Since you are using jQuery you can use this onClick handler which calls click:

    $("#datepicker").click()

    This is the same as $("#datepicker").trigger("click").
