Hi,

I have coldufusion 7 and can't use the datafield type for input field.  Instead, i want the pop up calendar for user to pick the date.  I've search from the web and they talked about jquery but do'n't know about this.  I did see some code but don't know how to call in cfm page.  Can any one please walk me through this?

thanks

kt

Google jQuery datepicker. You will get plenty of examples like

<html>

<head>

    <title>jQuery Datepicker</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" />

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>

    <script>

    $(function() {

        $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();

    });

    </script>

</head>

<body>

<form>

<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker" /></p>

</form>

</body>

</html>

I would suggest you download the scripts jquery-ui.css, jquery-1.8.3.js and jquery-ui.js, and let your code refer instead to URLs on your site.
