Jquery Modal Dialog with Jquery DatePicker field strange behavior

Hi people.

I need your help here, please.

I have a rails 3.0.9 app, and I’m using Ajax to save some records to
the database. To achieve this, I use a jquery modal form, but one of
the fields is a datepicker, and if I click on it to display the
calendar it doesn’t work.

The thing is, I press submit without fill all the fields, so, my
custom validations were shown, telling me that I must fill some
fields, and when I did that… surprise… the date picker worked just
fine… I don’t know why when I first load the dialog modal form
datepicker doesn’t work, but when I “made a mistake” it works.

Can you help me? please

doesn’t sound like a rails issue at all but rather a javascript/jquery
issue.

Make sure that you install Firefox & firebug and use firebug to figure
out the difference between the initial display and the subsequent
redisplay to figure out why the jquery is late to work.

I’ve checked firebug, there’s no difference (actually, firebug doesn’t
show anything)
thanks for your help
