Technote Details :: The Date Picker calendar window does not show up
Issue
After enhancing a standard text field with the Date Picker widget, when I press the button in the browser the calendar window does not show up. On a simple page containing only the enhanced text field it works.
Reason
This happens because elements on the page containing the Date Picker enhanced text field use z-index as method of establishing element depth. The calendar window which is displayed when the button is pressed does not use z-index and therefore is not visible (it is positioned below the other page elements).
Solution
In order to display the Date Picker interface, you have two options:
- Remove the z-index options in the page.
- Set the z-index value for the layer containing the Date Picker to 0.
