jQuery UI datepicker in Rails
I have spent lot of time in making this. The problem was there was conflict in the prototype & Jquery. This is how i did it, Step 1: Download jquery.ui.datepicker.js from jquery UI and add it in Javascripts folder. Step 2 : Add these in Layout, <script src="/javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="/javascripts/jquery.ui.datepicker.js"></script> <script> jQuery(function() { jQuery("#datepicker").datepicker(); }); </script> Note: instead of $(function) i have used jQuery(function) Step 3 : Then the View file, use, <%= text_field_tag "datepicker" %> Note : If you get this error, "jquery ui $(input).zIndex is not a function" 1. Go to the datepicker JS & comment out the line where you get the error. 2. Add .ui-datepicker {z-index: 3000;} in ur stylesheet
