Question

Using the jQuery tools DateInput API found at

http://flowplayer.org/tools/dateinput/

I need to toggle an input box in between a normal input box, and a box used for a date input control.

I have no problem using the following to toggle the dateinput calendar on:

$('#value').dateinput({selectors:true, max: endDay(new Date()), yearRange:[-10,5] });

The problem I am having, is when I need to toggle the input box back to normal, and not have it be a dateinput, I cannot. For example, I would imagine there would have been an API call such as the following:

$('#value').dateinput('destroy');

Does anybody know what I can due to accomplish this?

Answer 1

Replace it with a new input via .replaceAll() or .replaceWith().

$("#value").replaceWith("<input>");
