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

You can use the getDate method:

var d = $('div#someID').datepicker('getDate');

That will give you a Date object in d.

There aren't any options for positioning the popup but you might be able to do something with CSS or the beforeShow event if necessary.
