I have the following code

<html>
    <head>
       //included all jquery related stuff ..not shown here
    </head>
    <body>
       <button id = 'btn' />
       <div id = 'ct'>
             <?php echo file_get_contents('my_ajax_stuff.php'); ?>
       </div>
    </body>
    <script>
       $('.datepicker').datepicker({dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy"});
       $('#btn').click(function() {
           $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "my_ajax_stuff.php" ,
            success: function(response) {
                $('#ct').html(response);
                /*added following line to solve this issue ..but not worked*/
                //$( ".datepicker" ).datepicker({dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy"});

            } ,
            error: function () {
                $('#ct').html("Some problem fetching data.Please try again");
            }
        });
       });
    </script>
</html>

The page

my_ajax_stuff.php

contains a jquery ui datepicker with class = 'datepicker'.On the first load the datepicker works.But when I click on the button to reload it again , the contents are replaced with new contents.But the datepicker is not working.I have tried initialising the datepicker inside the ajax success handler ,as you see.But it also failed.What is the issue.How can it be solved???

Call your picker inside .ajaxComplete function.

$(document).ready(function () {
    // setup picker here...
});

$(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
   // setup picker here...
});

This may be a primitive solution, but I found that If I have in my main document a function MakeDatePicker and I used it in the OnChange portion of my input, I was able to make any object, ajax, or otherwise, turn into a date picker before, and after an ajax call. Here is the function and the call. (please note, I have ColdFusion # functions, as this is a return on a coldfusion query with a CFOutput.)

<td><input type="date" class="EstDeliveryDatePicker" chassis="#chassis#" value= "#DateFormat(EstDelivery,'mm/dd/yy')#" onclick="MakeDatePicker(this);"></input></td>

here is the function at the top of my page:

function MakeDatePicker(obj) { $(obj).datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true }); $(obj).datepicker("show"); }

like I said, its crude, but it works.

I was having an issue with the way my tables would display their sorts. I have it so when you enter the page, you have 1 field that you can click on to select a date. If you click on one of the headers, it would sort SQL command, and re-display the table. This would break the .datepicker function. So I change it to not read off the class, but make the click, trigger the function. the problem with trying to get it to run on the .class was it would initialize after the table was redrawn and lose the scope of the DOM.
