Getting value from JQUERY datepicker

Question

If I want to display the JQUERY UI datepicker inline by attaching it to a DIV like $(\"div#someID\").datepicker() - how do I access the chosen date? I assume if

Answer 1

If you want to get the date when the user selects it, you can do this:

$("#datepicker").datepicker({
    onSelect: function() { 
        var dateObject = $(this).datepicker('getDate'); 
    }
});

I am not sure about the second part of your question. But, have you tried using style sheets and relative positioning?
