That’s true. You can’t run datepicker for elements that don’t yet exist.

You can set global datepicker options and then just apply the datepicker to particular fields with those settings:

1. $(function() {
2.       $.datepicker.setDefaults({dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
3.       function addnew() {
4.             ...
5.             $('<input type="text" class="datepicker">').appendTo(mydiv).datepicker();
6.       }
7. });

Also note that IDs must be unique within the document. Your current implementation of addnew will create multiple text fields with the same ID.

Thanks :)

Note the #.
