OK I messed around some more and got closer. Turns out I had the CSS file missing or something, so it is now displaying…sort of.

1) It renders BEHIND the form window.

2) when I click on a date, it closes the form window not quite what I want.It appears it is doing a close and not a save (ovbiouslly) since the value never changes.

I believe I’m using jqGrid 3.3 as I just downloaded this the other day.

Update: Further messing around seems to indicate my problems are with the datepicker appearing behind the edit form. Attempts to tweak z-order have failed (but I believe this was corrected?).

OK that sorted that problem out. Thank you. Turns out the datepicker-div was set to 20 or 30 z-index. Took some digging with FireBug to figure that out. Now it shows up properly.

However I’ve discovered another issue. I have two date fields, one right after the other. If I use the onfocus event, I get them to pop-up, but the second one always seems to populate the first. Actually what happens is I click in the second, the picker pops up, I select a date, it goes away and the first one immediately pops up WITHOUT changing the value of the second text box. If I use the button function, everything works.

Additionally, the onFocus fires when the form loads and I get a datepicker showing right away. This is actually not unexpected since one of the date elements is the first form field so this is probably functioning as usual.

I prefer the button option personally so I’ll use that, but it was a little odd.

Thanks!
