How to use

Step 1 - Setup

yaDatePicker plugin uses the jQuery JavaScript library. So, in order to use it, include these two javascript files in the header of your page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/yaDatePicker-1.3-min.js"></script>

Include the CSS file that contains the theme for the yaDatePicker plugin you want to use:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/default.css" media="screen" />

Step 2 - Activate

Create an input field or a div element to which you want to attach the datepicker:

<input type="text" id="date" />

or

<div id="calendar"></div>

Finally, attach a datepicker to the created field:

$("#date").attachDatePicker();

or render it to the created div element:

$("#calendar").attachDatePicker({inline:true});

Step 3 - Have fun!
