    <p>I have a form that creates a new entry into a database. One of the fields uses jquery Datepicker. At the moment, I can pick a date using the UI calendar and it displays in the right format in the textbox, but when I submit the form, the format changes back to the default setting, and saves in the database. I have had this working before on a older version of my site, and I tried following questions already posted, but had no luck. Hopefully someone can see the problem. Thanks.</p> <p>Here's part of my Project Controller:</p> <pre><code>def create @project = Project.new(params[:project]) @project.client = params[:new_client] unless params[:new_client].blank? @project.exception_pm = params[:new_exception_pm] unless params[:new_exception_pm].blank? @project.project_owner = params[:new_project_owner] unless params[:new_project_owner].blank? @project.role = params[:new_role] unless params[:new_role].blank? @project.industry = params[:new_industry] unless params[:new_industry].blank? @project.business_div = params[:new_business_div] unless params[:new_business_div].blank? respond_to do |format| if @project.save format.html { redirect_to @project, notice: 'Project was successfully created.' } format.json { render json: @project, status: :created, location: @project } else format.html { render action: "new" } format.json { render json: @project.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end </code></pre> <p>Here's part of my form view:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for(@project) do |f| %&gt; &lt;% if @project.errors.any? %&gt; &lt;div id="error_explanation"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;%= pluralize(@project.errors.count, "error") %&gt; prohibited this project from being saved:&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;% @project.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;%= msg %&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;div class="field"&gt; &lt;%= f.label :start_date %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :start_date, :class =&gt; 'datepicker' %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="field"&gt; &lt;%= f.label :end_date %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :end_date, :class =&gt; 'datepicker' %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="actions"&gt; &lt;%= f.submit %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here's my application.js file:</p> <pre><code>$(function() { $("#project_start_date").datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'}); }); $(function() { $("#project_end_date").datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'}); }); </code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

    1. COSo, you are calling datepicker() 3 times for each of the controls? Try narrowing that down to once and fiddling with the parameters, you probably are getting conflicts between them.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
