problem when cloning jQuery UI datepicker

Question

I have a div in which there is a datepicker. I use something like this to clone it:

mydiv = $(\'#someDiv\');

// works fine so far
mydiv.find(\'input.datefie         


        

Answer 1

If you call .datepicker('destroy').removeAttr('id') before cloning and then re-init the date picker it will work.

This seems to be a bug with destroy since it is supposed to return the element back to it's original state.
