I generally like the idea but this plugin is really bad if you consider accessibility and progressive enhancement. By starting your HTML with a div instead of real form fields means there is nothing to fall back to when JavaScript is disabled which will make the whole form useless.

As I said, the idea is good but it needs to be usable even without JS.

Ok… I got it working…problem was my path to the js file ($pluginfolder) nothing to see here!

$pluginfolder = $pluginfolder = plugins_url() . ‘/’ . dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__));
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery-ui-core’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘bday-picker’, $pluginfolder . ‘/bday-picker.js’, array(‘jquery’) );

This is a great script, thank you for creating it. Have you ever integrated it within WordPress
or have any experience in doing that?

I am trying to use it for a plugin in WordPress and I cannot get it to work, does this look correct for loading the script in the plugin in the admin_init action hook.

$pluginfolder = plugins_url();
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery-ui-core’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘bday-picker’, $pluginfolder . ‘/bday-picker.js’, array(‘jquery’, ‘jquery-ui-core’) );

i am trying out your code and it always returns the months as the value 8 in the hidden field.

Also is it possible to append the date and month value with a 0 if lesson than 10 so 9 would become 09 in the hidden field?

Was attempting to utilize your nice plugin when I noticed a few things.

First if you attempt to select February you should be able to select the 29th day until the year is selected which it then should revert the day back to default ‘Day:’ if a non-leap year is selected.

While testing the above it appears if you select “Feb” then “28″ then “2012″ the month list reverts back to “Month:” with the only selectable option in month being just “Jan”. Wiping out all of the other months. The quick fix for this was to set minAge not equal to 0.

FYI, the problem with safari mobile is in the date format. It doesn’t accept the hyphen in new Date(). If you change defaultDate to slashes (2012/01/06) and hiddenDate line 92 to

hiddenDate = defYear + “/” + defMonth + “/” + defDay;

then it works fine.

This code works great… on desktop browsers. For whatever reason it doesn’t work on iphone though. Both my local test code and your demo page do not fill in default dates.

Haven’t pulled out the android phone yet to check that.

Hey boss, this is a great plugin, we ran in to a little bit of hiccup though, we’re using it for our registration page, when the user submits the registration and logout and come back to the registration page again, the dd’s are not set to their placeholder value and still showing the date that the user previously entered but the hidden selects shows the placeholders as currently selected.
