Question

When I run JSlint on this piece of code I get this error

Error: Problem at line 25 character 26: ‘selectedDate’ is already
defined. var selectedDate = new Date(selectedDate);

Implied global: $ 1,4,13,14,26,27,28,31,33,34,42, updateSelects
13,19,21

I think it is referring to this code

'dateSelected', function(e, selectedDate, $td, state) {
    updateSelects(selectedDate);

How can I fix this?

Thanks

The error sort of explains itself.

Problem at line 25 character 26: ‘selectedDate’ is already defined.
var selectedDate = new Date(selectedDate);

You are declaring the variable selectedDate again, and you are filling it with a new Date object taking in the value of the original variable selectedDate. You should rename the variable to something else.

var date = new Date(selectedDate);

And just to note the error is occuring here:

var updateSelects = function(selectedDate) {
   var selectedDate = new Date(selectedDate);
   ...
});
