Problem in Ui/Datepicker

[manjula]

Hi,

I'm using rails 2.0.1 with jrails and jquery. I'm trying to use UI/Datepicker. While running i'm getting the error as

$.datepicker has no properties [Break on this error] for (attrName in $.datepicker._defaults) {

in ui.datepicker.js (line 1419)

Please tell me how to resolve it.

Can you provide the code for or a URL to a page that demonstrates the problem?

I think your problem (and mine, a few minutes ago, but without jrails) is that you're trying to call Datepicker before it gets instantiated. Datepicker has an onready event near the end that sets up the library. If, like me, you're including it later in your page (say, using content_for), but your event that wants to build a datepicker comes first, it dies.

Try moving your include for datapicker sooner in your page. That worked for me!

(btw, never heard of jrails before, sounds like something I've been looking for, thanks!)
