there is an error in function green2 ( first version )

should be this :
if (!this.green) this.green = new Green($(this)); // associate our state-keeping object with the element
instead of this :
if (!this.green) this.green = new Green(this); // associate our state-keeping object with the element

thanks for the tuto ! very interesting !

I think I answered my own question just now… I meant multiple inputs with the same name. Not ID, sorry. But I believe I figured out how to make this work. Sorry to have wasted your time there.

Thanks!

@Adrian:
I don’t understand what you are trying to do without the sample code. Don’t try to format it or anything, just type it in.

Hello Danny,

Excellent work here, and write-up. I’m looking to see if there is a way to make the calendar appear for multiple inputs with the same id/name. For example, I’m working on a project where the application is required to display the initial form with one calendar input. Then the user can duplicate the input within the form, to have a second set of, say, computer inventory information. Thus, the form data is passed to the server as an array.
Can I have something like:
[code]

[/code]
Then when the user clicks on the two input fields, two separate calendars appear. And the date would go through as an array as expected (ex: date=01/01/2010,02/02/2012).

I tried the datepicker supplied by JQuery’s core ui, but couldn’t get it to work (or maybe I’m not understanding JQuery enough to make it generate a new calendar for each input with matching id/name). So, I’m checking you JQuery plug-in to see if it can do what I’m looking for.

If your plug-in can do this, would you be so kind to provide a mini example, or explain how I can make this work?

Thank you!
Adrian

@Brad:
And thank you for analyzing it in such detail!
I’m not a Real Programmer; no pair programming, no test-driven development, no source version control (which I keep kicking myself about and will no doubt come to regret). I just solve problems as I come across them and release what I’ve learned. It’s nice to have someone looking over my shoulder.
