I am working on a HP autonomy interwoven Teamsite DCT and I am trying to add jQuery Datepicker to a "selectDate" text element.

Basically this text element is a part of a replicant container with attribute min=1. So at the time of form load the first instance of replicant container have date picker attached with the select Date text item. But when I am adding the new replicant container then the new instance's select Date text element is not getting populated with datepicker.

My DCT code is Some part is shown here


    <script language="javascript" location="webserver" type="text/javascript" src="/iw/macysdotcom/formapi/jquery/js/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.js" />
    <script language="javascript" location="webserver" src="/iw/macysdotcom/formapi/library.js"/> 
    <script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="shy.js"/>       
    <root-container location="Root" name="Root">
            <container name='sequenceContainer' min='1' max='25' default='0'>
                <container name='rowContainer' min='1' max='25' default='0'><label>&lt;img src='/iw-cc/teamsite/images/bullets/blue_bullet.png'/&gt; Row Container</label>
                <item name="startDate" pathid="startDate" required="t" rowcontinue="t">
                    <label>Start Date</label>
                    <text required="f" size="30" maxlength="100">
                    </text>
                </item>
                <item name="endDate" pathid="endDate" required="t">
                    <label>End Date</label>
                    <text required="f" size="30" maxlength="100">
                    </text>
                </item>                 
                </container>

There is an inbuilt one that you can call. An example of it could be:

<item name="Date" pathid="Date">
<label>Date</label>
<description>Date Picker.</description>
<text required="t" size="12" maxlength="10" validation-regex="^[0-9]{4}\/[0-1][0-9]\/[0-3][0-9]$">
<callout url="/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/calendar.ipl/allow_past_dates=1" label="View Calendar" window-features="width=200,height=230,resizable=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,titlebar=no"/>
<default>yyyy/mm/dd</default>
    </text>
    <readonly />
    </item>

This should produce the calendar or helps you on the right track.

The requirement is to use jQuery Datepicker. I have achieved this but now there is one more issue I am facing browser compatibility issue as my IE is rendering our DCT in Document Mode = IE5 Quirks. If I can change the meta tag attributes to <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" /> then DCT will be rendered in standard doc mode but As I am new to Teamsite so I don't know how to do this. Please suggest if you have any alternativeBrinton
Potentially you can modify edit_dcr.jsp and add it into the head. Potential locations are iw-home\httpd\webapps\content_center\ccpro\formspub for windows and Interwoven/ApplicationContainer/server/default/deploy/iw-cc.war/ccpro/formspub for linux.Chosen

Yes, we can include JQuery inside our templates. Please refer this link for a quick start: Jquery in TeamSite

Hope, this will be helpful.

Thanks!
