beforeShow event not firing on jQueryUI Datepicker

Question

No matter what I try, I\'m not able to get the beforeShow event to fire on my datepicker. Here\'s my code:

$(\'#calendar\').datepicker({
inline: true,
dateF         


        

Answer 1

It's a little bit tricky but use the setTimeout method to launch the function works well for me.

$('#calendar').datepicker({
inline: true,
dateFormat: 'mm,dd,yy',
beforeShow: function() { 
    setTimeout(function() {
        alert('before'); 
    }, 10);
}
});
