displaying a datepicker on custom button click event
hi
i wanted to show a datepicker on a custom click event. i can't use datepicker button or image due to lack of space and certain other restrictions.
i have created a custom button with a custom look and feel. i want the click event on this button to trigger datepicker display.
i tried to use
$("#datepick").datepicker();
but this is merely associating the textfield datepick with datepicker, its not showing it.. rather we have to click on textfield after the button click to show the datepicker.
i also tried
$("#datepick").datepicker( 'show' );
but this also did not do any changes..
can anyone tell me any possible way for getting this event..
