Late Binding onSelect for DatePicker

Late Binding onSelect for DatePicker


Hi,
Is it possible to "late bind" to the onSelect event on the date picker
after the standard setup is called? If I use this code
$("#date').datepicker({showOn: 'button',
...
onSelect: function(dateText) { alert
(dateText) }
...
});
Then the event binds correctly and fires as expected. I only want to
bind to this event in certain cirumstances so I created another
function that I call independently.
function handleSelect(id) {
$("#" + id).datepicker( {
onSelect: function(dateText) { alert(dateText); }
}
)
}
When I do it this way though the onselect event doesn't fire. Can
someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm using 1.5.3.
Thanks for your help,
