I have a calendar picker working using jqueryUI but wanted to try to convert it to the native date picker.
i'd like to be able to have the following:
- start with the "< input id="nativedate" type="date"/>" element being hidden from the view.
- when the main page element is clicked, have the < input > element show, with the calendar opened
- when the user selecs a date on the calendar, the element is hidden.
Right now when i get to step 2, the < input > item is showing but with the calendar hidden, so the user must click to have the element appear and then click again to have the calendar show and then a third click to select the date.
EDIT: I've tried the following:
$('#nativedate').click(function(){
console.log('click logged');
})
and then in another method:
$(#nativedate).trigger('click');
which works in terms of my event handler i've set up, but it does not open the calendar
