datepicker OnSelect / OnClick submit

in Using jQuery UI • 10 months ago

New to JQuery, sorry

This seems like the most basic want/need in the world to ask of datepicker, but I cannot find any support addressing how to do it. How do I simply get the datepicker to auto submit/post the date variable when you click a date?

IE:

Load page

Click in date field

Datepicker pops up

Click on date

Form submits and posts variable

Page refreshes and (does something) display submitted date variable

If someone can show me how to do this in the demos/datepicker/default.html I would be most appreciative!

Ok I got it submitting through POST using OnSelect...

HOWEVER... I cannot call the $pickeddate variable... do I need to apply date formatting or something? If so any ideas on how to go about that?

Here is the code I am using.

test.html

<head>

<title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>

$(function() {

$('#pickeddate').datepicker({

autoSize: true,

onSelect: function (dateText, inst) {

$(this).parent('form').submit();

}

});

</script>

<style>

#ui-datepicker-div {}

.ui-datepicker-trigger { vertical-align: middle;}

</style>

</head>

<body>

</form>

</div>

</body>

</html>

test2.html

<html>

<body>

<p>PickedDate Variable :<?php echo $_POST["pickeddate"];?></p>

</div>

</body>

</html>

... For me to poop on.

The code you have shown looks OK. Where is the $pickeddate variable you are having trouble with?

I am setting the variable in POST then that last section is actually test2.html where I am trying to call the $_POST['pickeddate']
