I'm building for a UI design where the datepicker is supposed to be displayed in a modal window. As far as I can tell this pretty much forces me to use the altField functionality of jQueryUIs date picker? The problem I'm having is i can't get the date picker to honor the value in the alternate field. Here's a fiddle showing what i'm trying to do...
The datepicker just keeps changing to the current date (and changing the altField to match)
