DatePicker question: code works remotely, but not locally
Hello; I have a newbie question.
I want to include only the JQuery UI DatePicker in my application.
When I write my Javascript code to refer to the JQuery UI libraries
hosted at jquery.com, everything works fine. The relevant javascript
source looks like this:
<link type="text/css" href="http://jqueryui.com/latest/themes/base/
ui.all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/
jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/
ui.core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/
ui.datepicker.js"></script>
When I download and attempt to host those .js and .css files locally--
and when, obviously, I refer to them from inside my HTML pages--
nothing works. Firebug indicates that basically the selector code ($
(".dp)) never finds my input type=text with class of "dp". I don't
know why. The relevant source (from within my Java application) looks
like this:
<link type="text/css" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/
jquery-ui-1.7.1.datepicker/css/smoothness/jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.css"
rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="$
{pageContext.request.contextPath}/jquery-ui-1.7.1.datepicker/js/
jquery-1.3.2.min.js" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="$
{pageContext.request.contextPath}/jquery-ui-1.7.1.datepicker/js/jquery-
ui-1.7.1.custom.min.js" />
The download configurator seems to be blissfully unaware of any
required dependencies I might need, so I'm shooting blind in the
dark. I deselected everything, selected the DatePicker component, and
selected the UI core component. I didn't select anything else. I
downloaded the result and placed it within my (Java) web application.
I am happy to go into as much detail as is necessary, but perhaps I am
making a simple boneheaded pilot error? It certainly wouldn't be the
first time.
Thanks,
Laird
