DatePicker resetting time when used with jQuery 1.6.2

[Oleg]

Hi,

I have a DatePicker that displays date in the format "dd MM yyyy HH:mm"

If jQuery 1.6.2 is used, hour : minute part is reset to zeroes on page load.

I've attached a sample project demonstrating it. Just go to the "About" page.

The expected value is "01 09 2011 16:40", but actual is "01 09 2011 00:00"

Hello Oleg,

 
In order to show and work with Date and Time you will need to use DateTimePicker UI component. The datepicker currently serialize only date part of the DateTime object and thus the time part is lost.

Kind regards,

Georgi,

The time part is not lost if I use jQuery 1.5 that is shipped with Telerik package, so serialization/desirialization of time works just fine.

The time part is only lost when I use jQuery 1.6.2.

It seems like it's a compatibility bug with newer version of jQuery.

Using Telerik DateTimePicker UI is not an option for me because of usability requirements.

Can you please check why jQuery 1.6.2 affects time part serialization?

Oleg,

As I mentioned in my previous reply the problem is not related with version of jQuery. The issue is caused by the serialized selectedValue, which has bigger priority then the input value. Check this screen-cast which I have made while testing your test project.

Thanks Georgi.

I followed your suggestion to use DateTimePicker instead, but have hidden the time picker button using following css, so I can use my own time picker control:

.t-icon-clock{display:none}
.t-datetimepicker .t-picker-wrap {padding-right: 28px;}

Do you foresee any problems with this approach?

Thanks,
Oleg
