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

Make sure your newly cloned datepicker has a different name and ID than the original. If they both have the same name, then the behavior you're describing would be normal.

Try changing that last line to something like:

newDiv.find('input.datefield').attr('id', 'newDatePicker').attr('name', 'newDatePicker').datepicker();
