Hi,

Have you considered targeting the question label?

Hi, instead of setting your sample code to look for the field ID, try using something static that won’t change like the question name (label):

jQuery('label:contains("Birth Date"), label:contains("Birth Date (DD/MM/YYYY)")').next('input').datepicker({dateFormat: "dd/mm/yyyy"});

Does that help?

i am using like this to call datepicker:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#TEXT_14-4-131-2').datepicker({
dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
defaultDate: "01/01/1970",
minDate: "01/01/1925",
maxDate: "12/31/2015",
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
yearRange: "1925:2015"
});
});

how to change ID here with given Label.

Switching out the ID to use a label should work:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('label:contains("Birth Date"), label:contains("Birth Date (DD/MM/YYYY)")').next('input').datepicker({
dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
defaultDate: "01/01/1970",
minDate: "01/01/1925",
maxDate: "12/31/2015",
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
yearRange: "1925:2015"
});
});
