Hello,

I'm trying to implement datePicker v2 but Firebug says
"$('#date').setStartDate is not a function". I must be missing something
simple because I can click "calendar" and have the calendar appear. So
it works, just not completely. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Relevant code is at the end.

Thanks!

Chris.

Hi,

It seems like you are looking for dpSetStartDate. In fact, to achieve
what the code above does you can do this:

$('#date').datePicker({startDate:'01/01/2006'});

If you need to changed the start date after the date picker has been
initialised for any reason (like for example in my "Start and end date
pickers" example) then you will need to use dpSetStartDate like so:

$('#date').dpSetStartDate('01/01/2006');

Since the date picker methods are added to all jQuery methods I thought
it polite to prefix them to avoid naming collisions with other plugins.

Ahh - I've just noticed that there was a typo in the documentation which
is maybe why you got confused... I just fixed it (
http://dev.jquery.com/changeset/1930 ) and the documentation (
http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/documentation.html
) is now correct,

Thanks,

Kelvin :)
