jQuery datepicker, onSelect won't work

I can't get onSelect working on my jQuery datepicker.

Heres my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $('.date-pick').datePicker( {
        onSelect: function(date) {
            alert(date)
        },
        selectWeek: true,
        inline: true,
        startDate: '01/01/2000',
        firstDay: 1,
    });
});
</script>

It's like it doesn't register the onSelect function. What am I doing wrong?

No comma after the last property.

Semicolon after alert(date);

Case on datepicker (not datePicker)

Check your other uppercase / lowercase for the properties.

$(function() {
    $('.date-pick').datepicker( {
        onSelect: function(date) {
            alert(date);
        },
        selectWeek: true,
        inline: true,
        startDate: '01/01/2000',
        firstDay: 1
    });
});

datePicker's onSelect equivalent is the dateSelected event.

$(function() {
    $('.date-pick').datePicker( {
        selectWeek: true,
        inline: true,
        startDate: '01/01/2000',
        firstDay: 1,
    }).bind('dateSelected', function(e, selectedDate, $td) {
        alert(selectedDate);
    });
});

This page has a good example showing the dateSelected event and other events being bound.

The function datepicker is case sensitive and all lowercase. The following however works fine for me:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.date-pick').datepicker( {
    onSelect: function(date) {
        alert(date);
    },
    selectWeek: true,
    inline: true,
    startDate: '01/01/2000',
    firstDay: 1
  });
});

I have downloaded the datepicker from jqueryui.com/download and I got 1.7.2 version but still onSelect function didn't work. Here is what i had - 

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

$("#datepicker").datepicker({ 
      onSelect: function(value, date) { 
         alert('The chosen date is ' + value); 
      } 
});

I found the solution in this page -- problem with jquery datepicker onselect . Removed the $("#datepicker").datepicker(); once and it worked.

It should be "datepicker", not "datePicker" if you are using the jQuery UI DatePicker plugin. Perhaps, you have a different but similar plugin that doesn't support the select handler.
