Question:

Use JQuery UI Datepicker with Icons from Jquery UI Theme

I have a datepicker control setup specific image, i.e.:

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function() {
 $("#DateFrom").datepicker({ showOn: 'button', buttonImageOnly: true, buttonImage: 'images/ui-icon-calendar.png' });
 });
</script>

To display an icon from the icon set you use something like:

<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-calendar"></span>

Is there an easy to integrate the two or do I just need to hack out using the JQuery UI, I am also using the a bunch of default icons.

The DatePicker allows for specifying a that I want to use JQuery UI themes which provide the styles/images manually?

Answers:

I'm afraid you'll have to do that manually

...instead of...

$(document).ready(function() {
 // your code here
});

. By default, the Datepicker plugin uses the specified buttonImage

By the way, you might want to use following HTML to insert the:

<img title="..." alt="..." src="images/ui-icon-calendar.png" class="ui-datepicker-trigger">

...

$(function() {
 // your code here
});

I got it working by doing inserts next to your input ellipses in the text, so I remove that as

Just modifies the button that it for the calendar. By default they throw three this

 $("#DateFrom").datepicker({ showOn: 'button'}).next('button').text('').button({icons:{primary : 'ui-icon-calendar'}});

well.

I suggest putting the image into

Like

date_picker_example

This removes the need of doing the input

input.date_picker {
 text-align: center;
 background-image: url("images/ui-icon-calendar.png");
 background-position: right center;
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
 padding-right: 18px;
 width: 78px;
}

a trigger manually

A very good example with the sample code is provided.

Borrowing from and extending Loktar's answer, you could try something like, clicking the icon triggers the this, note I have only tested

Note that in this example, date-picker-button-hidden are my own classes, since I don't like styling the jQuery CSS

This is effectively placing a regular button. The button is completely see on top of the icon and date-picker-icon-through / opaque (via the CSS), however because it is still jQuery span icon behind the classes directly. Apply the following CSS:

span.date-picker-icon
{
 display: inline-block;
 z-index: -1;
 position: relative;
 left: -16px;
}

button.date-picker-button-hidden
{
 opacity: 0.0;
 filter: alpha(opacity=0);
 height: 16px;
 width: 16px;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}

this in FF10, but I can't see why it wouldn't work in other browsers.

$('.date-picker').datepicker({showOn: 'button'})
 .next('button').addClass('date-picker-button-hidden')
 .after($('<span/>')
 .addClass('ui-icon').addClass('ui-icon-calendar').addClass('date-picker-icon'));

button click event.
