Multiple Datepickers

[dlcohengithub]

First - nice tool, much better than the silly HTML date popup! And, I know it's old but...

I have form that has two date fields, on two different lines. If someone opens popup on one, then on the other, they overlap. So, I tweaked code a bit to close any that may be open already when another is opened. Here is what I did, followed by the affected existing code:
`
..
function closeDatePickers(idOfTextBox) // dlc added
// fixes problem where multiple datepickers open
{
var datepickers = document.getElementsByClassName('datepicker');
var textbox;
var any = false;
var me = false;

for(var ix=0; ix< datepickers.length; ix++)
{
textbox = document.getElementById(datepickers[ix].id);
div = textbox.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div');
for (jx=0;jx<div.length;jx++)
{
if (div[jx].getAttribute('class')=='datepickerdropdown')
{
textbox.parentNode.removeChild(div[jx]);
if (datepickers[ix].id == idOfTextBox) me = true;
any = true;
}
}
}
return me;
}

// This is called when they click the icon next to the date inputbox
function showDatePicker(idOfTextbox) {
var textbox = document.getElementById(idOfTextbox);

if (closeDatePickers(idOfTextbox)) return false; // just closing this one
/*
// See if the date picker is already there, if so, remove it
x = textbox.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div');
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++) {
if (x[i].getAttribute('class')=='datepickerdropdown') {
textbox.parentNode.removeChild(x[i]);
return false;
}
}
*/

// Grab the date, or use the current date if not valid
..`
