I'm trying to use the Pikaday date picker script and it's working fine, however I want to trigger it on clicking in the field as well as on an icon.
I am using the jQuery
method to bind it, such as:
var picker = new Pikaday({
field: $('#used_from')[0]
});
Which works fine, but then I tried out the trigger option as mentioned in the docs, as such..
var picker = new Pikaday({
field: $('#used_from')[0],
trigger: $('#used_from_cal')[0],
});
This works too, but only on the element with the used_from_cal
id; it no longer works on the input field with the id used_from
.
I tried using multiple selectors, such as:
var picker = new Pikaday({
field: $('#used_from, #used_from_calc')[0]
});
...but this only worked on the first element.

I don't think it's possible out of the box, seeing this in the Pikaday source:
opts.trigger = (opts.trigger && opts.trigger.nodeName) ? opts.trigger : opts.field;
There's just one trigger, being the trigger
or the field
.
You can hack your way around it a bit by doing something like:
document.getElementById("used_from_cal").addEventListener("click", function(){
picker.show();
});
