datepicker and Position-Absolute validation plugin

datepicker and Position-Absolute validation plugin

I am trying to use a jQuery datepicker and a validation plugin from Postion-Absolute.

I can get the datepicker working fine and the validation working except when I combine them both. 

It seems like the validator is firing before the datepicker populates the input.

Here is an example page.
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. <link rel="stylesheet" href="ait.css" type="text/css" />
  4. <link rel="stylesheet" href="js/jQuery-Validation-Engine/css/validationEngine.jquery.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8" />
  5. <script src="jQuery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  6. <script src="js/jQuery/jQueryUI.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  7. <script src="js/jQuery-Validation-Engine/js/jquery.validationEngine-en.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  8. <script src="js/jQuery-Validation-Engine/js/jquery.validationEngine.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

  10. <script type='text/javascript'>
  11. $(document).ready(
  12. function() {
  13.       $('input#a_1_due_date').datepicker({
  14.       dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
  15.       minDate: new Date(2010, 8, 01),
  16.       maxDate: new Date(2010, 10, 05),
  17.       numberOfMonths: 1
  18.       }),

  20.       $('#addAssigns').validationEngine()
  21. });
  22. </script>
  23. </head>
  24. <body>
  25. <?php
  26. if($_POST){
  27.       foreach($_POST as $k=>$v){
  28.             echo $k." = ".$v."<br />";
  29.       }
  30. }
  31. ?>
