Topic: JavaScript hates me lately

[ober]

Code: [Select]


$(function() {
$('#createdate').datepicker({
showButtonPanel: true,
            changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
            dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'
});
});

I'm using the jQuery datepicker.  I have this working in another location but the only difference is that I have 2 dates involved on the other one so there are 2 blocks like the above.  I just deleted the second block here since the second field doesn't exist and now it's throwing an error on the first line:

$ is not defined.

Which is total BS.  And the field name hasn't changed so WTF.

Check to make sure that the above block is after the jquery.js file is loaded

OK, WTF.  It's working now.  Granted, I added another function in there to do something else, but surely that shouldn't impact it??  WTF?  I HATE YOU JAVASCRIPT!

You might have had a syntax error. Missing semi-colons cause random stuff like that sometimes.
