MX Widgets conflict with jQuery?

Post by Accumike » 2011-09-06 08:22

I use the Date Picker and Restricted Text Area in numerous forms. My set up is PHP / MySQL (PHP 5.2.4).
Recently I have been using the DMXZone PopUp extension for info and small update forms.
I find that when this is installed on the site, the MX Widgets tend to disappear or do not work - even if there is no DMXZone PopUp on the particular page.
Is this a conflict with jQuery? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

All suggestions appreciated.

I dont use that extension but I would imagine it is probably a clash between the interakt datepicker and the jquery datepicker that could have been included in the js file that came with the expension.
If you go to the jquery UI website you can generate the jquery script for 99% of thew scripts that people are selling.

I have removed all interakt datepicker instances from my sites and use jquery instead.
It is a simple 3 step implimentation process.
1. generate the jquery and upload to your site
2. Inslude the link in the header of your page
3. add the following to the text field.
id="date_pick"

Sorry Fred, I didn't realise that you had replied to this query.

Yes, I'm using the jQuery UI datepicker now as well. It does the job very well.

Thanks

Michael
