Rails date/time picker (hopefully jquery)

Image
By User


Looking for a date and datetime picker that will integrate fairly seamlessly with Rails. I'm sure some people must be using something similar. I have tried





  • the unobtrusive date picker plugin but it breaks with the latest release of Rails.





  • calendar date select plugin uses prototype which I have removed from my app and don't want to add back.





  • active calendar plugin - broken with latest Rails and hacked to fix but doesn't fill out the text fields when a model is loaded.





Thanks very much.

    This is the best date time picker I've seen. milesich is not actively maintained anymore. There're bugs if the input field is blank. Sure there're solutions(in the comments), but if you look at the code, its one ugly hack.

    Trent's implementation is much cleaner. Shorter, easy to understand and mimimal CSS to add. I highly recommend his work

    Here is a good write up on one option.

    There is another post here on StackOverflow on a similar topic. You are looking for something more specific to rails than the OP of this one, but it still has some good info.

    The Any+Time(TM) Datepicker/Timepicker AJAX Calendar Widget uses jQuery and should work seamlessly with Rails. It provides many date/time formatting options and requires only a single line of your own JS code to attach to any text field. It also aims to minimize the number of mouse clicks necessary to select a date and/or time, and provides WAI-ARIA keyboard accessibility for users without a mouse. Did I mention Time Zone support and custom Styles/Themes using CSS and/or jQuery UI? :-)

    If you happen to be using Twitter bootstrap, here's a great datepicker to go along with it:

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
