Hello Dear Readers,
Most of times, when we append the text field of datepicker using jQuery it not work, in other words when we integrate the dynamic datepicker using jQuery append method then datepicker work only with first field.
In this post we will discuss about the same problem of jQuery.
When we integrate the datepicker field using datepicker library in the first time it has to load in the DOM, but after that when we append the next datepicker field using jQuery it doesn't initiate in the DOM.

$(document).ready(function() {
$(".addSpan").click(function() {
var i = $("#dateTab input") .length + 1;
$("#dateTab").append($("<label>Date</label><input class='getDate id_"+ i +"' type='text' name='name[]' />"));
});
$( ".getDate" ).datepicker();
});
</script>

<div id="dateTab">
<label>Date</label><input type="text" class="getDate id_1" name="name[]" />
</div>
<span class="addSpan">Add</span>
</body>
</html>
In above code datepicker will work only for first field, because datepicker library not initiate for appended fields.
So, this is a simple idea that if we reinitiate datepicker function with each appended datepicker fields, then it will work.
Below code for date picker will work for each append fields because in this code we have reinitiated the datepicker library function for each fields.

$("#dateTab").append($("<label>Date</label><input class='getDate id_"+ i +"' type='text' name='name[]' />").datepicker()); //reinitiate the datepicker
});
$( ".getDate" ).datepicker();
});
</script>

<body>
<div id="dateTab">
<label>Date</label><input type="text" class="getDate id_1" name="name[]" />
</div>
<span class="addSpan">Add</span>
</body>
</html>
In above code we add datepicker function with each appended field which initiate in the DOM for each datepicker field.
Thanks,
