Some days ago I run into the following problem with jQuery’s datetime picker.
I have a form that contain a input field that I populate with a date/time picker. If you populate the form on the server with some default values, the jQuery’s hidden fields wont get set unless you do some action on the calendar.
The solution is to add inline:true to its options like this:
$(“#myDate”).datepicker({
inline: true,
dateFormat: ‘yy-mm-dd’
});
