I have a date picker for a text box .

 

$('#StartDate').datepicker();

 

i have 2 events attached to it.

 

1. on select a date form calender

 

$('#StartDate').datepicker({onselect: function (dateText, inst) {}});

 

 

2. on blur of text box

$('#StartDate').blur( function(){});

 

Requirement:

-step1:  i have enter a invalid date manulally ( 12/12/19) , on blur i need to get an alert - thi part is working

-step2: after step 1 , date is 12/12/19 , now i am trying to select a valid date using calender - now again 'blur' related event is firing and hence error messag is showing to me.

( technically correct - but here i dont want 'blur' related event to fire )

 

can you please help me some one.

 

Thanks,

kranthi.
