I am using the date field for Date of Birth so it becomes pretty pointless with most of the users being in their 60's. UPDATE: Nevermind. I found my answer here. <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/disable-calendar?replies=5#post-4285" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/disable-calendar?replies=5#post-4285</a> jflatham on "datepicker popup location" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/datepicker-popup-location#post-5133 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:56:05 +0000 jflatham 5133@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Thanks, Redityo, your instructions were spot on. I would also mention for other users' benefit that the position parameters you posted above are in pixels from the upper left corner of the form, not the page itself. With your guidance, my datepicker calendar is now perfectly placed, always visible. redityo on "datepicker popup location" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/datepicker-popup-location#post-5097 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:43:23 +0000 redityo 5097@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi, It possible to move the calendar pop up location, to do so you need edit "includes/view-function.php", go to around line 407 ~ 417 you will see these code : <pre><code><script type="text/javascript"> Calendar.setup({ inputField : "element_{$element->id}_3", baseField : "element_{$element->id}", displayArea : "calendar_{$element->id}", button : "cal_img_{$element->id}", ifFormat : "%B %e, %Y", onSelect : selectDate }); </script></code></pre> you can replace with <pre><code><script type="text/javascript"> Calendar.setup({ inputField : "element_{$element->id}_3", baseField : "element_{$element->id}", displayArea : "calendar_{$element->id}", button : "cal_img_{$element->id}", ifFormat : "%B %e, %Y", onSelect : selectDate, position : [10,60] }); </script></code></pre> I add "position : [10,60]" parameter in there, it will set the position with [x,y] coordinate value for your pop up calendar. You can change that value to get best position in your page. Anyway maybe you can consider to change the "calendar" button to the left instead on the right. To do this edit "includes/view-functions.php" files and go to around line 376 ~ 378, you will see this code : <pre><code>id}"> <img id="cal_img_{$element->id}" class="datepicker" src="{$machform_path}images/calendar.gif" alt="Pick a date." /> </code></pre> Move those code to below line 362, exactly bellow this code : <pre><code><label class="description">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label></code></pre> jflatham on "datepicker popup location" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/datepicker-popup-location#post-5093 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:35:53 +0000 jflatham 5093@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Is there a way to modify the location of the datapicker popup calendar, or to make it "always on top". I am having proplems with the calendar being obscured by an adjacent table to the right of the form.
