Hi,
Sorry you haven't received a response yet. Usually Jörn picks up
questions about the validate picker, but he's been traveling for the
past week. Also, datepicker questions are usually handled on the
jquery-ui google group. In any case, it looks like the the validation
message is triggered on blur of the field. I don't recall how
datepicker works, but I would sort of expect the focus to go back to
the date input element when a date is selected from the datepicker.
Since that isn't happening now, you can make it happen by adding an
onClose or onSelect method to your datepicker options: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#event-onSelect
That way, the validation thing will be triggered when the user
clicks or tabs out of the field after that point.
Hope that helps.

For some reason, and this is baffling me, if I use both the
validation
plugin and the datepicker plugin, some voodoo is occurring.
I have to select the date twice for it to validate.
For example, here are the steps I took:
I try to submit the form without dates in the fields.
The form is not sent and the date fields are flagged.
If you open it once and select a date, the calendar closes, but it
still shows as invalid.
If you repeat this action, selecting the same exact field and
opening
the calendar and selecting the date again, then it shows as valid.
I'm not sure how to shoehorn this into validating on the first click
on the calendar.
And to be honest, I'm terrified I'm going to get flamed over this.
I generally consider myself pretty resourceful, but this is making
me
a little bit loco.
