I’m using Rails version 3.2 and Ruby 1.9.3
I’m trying to make within a form_tag a datepicker field. In my GemFile I
have added gem ‘jquery-rails’ and gem ‘jquery_datepicker’. In the rails
console I have used the command: rails generate jquery:install --ui
Application.js looks like this:
// This is a manifest file that’ll be compiled into application.js,
which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory,
lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,
// or vendor/assets/javascripts of plugins, if any, can be referenced
here using a relative path.
//
// It’s not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it’ll
appear at the bottom of the
// the compiled file.
//
// WARNING: THE FIRST BLANK LINE MARKS THE END OF WHAT’S TO BE
PROCESSED, ANY BLANK LINE SHOULD// GO AFTER THE REQUIRES BELOW.////=
require jquery//= require jquery_ujs//= require jquery_ui//= require
jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js//= require_tree .
Application.css:
/*

vendor/assets/stylesheets, - or vendor/assets/stylesheets of plugins, if any, can be referenced

*= require_self
*= require_tree .
= require_jquery.ui.datepicker/
And in the view:
<%= form_tag url: {action: ‘do_something’} do |f| %>
<%= text_field_tag :birth_date, ‘’, :class => “datepicker” %>
<%= submit_tag “Do something man!”%>
<% end %>
What’s the proper calling of datepicker function for form_tag?
