    Russ,

    I'm trying to implement jQuery, so I looked in the Demo File, copied the sample Xpages, WebContent/css and WebContent/js to my sandbox database and can't get the jQuery elements to work. What step or steps am I missing?

    Hi Dave,

    The jQueryDatePicker page seems like an easy example to follow. Really all you need to do is include the jQuery libraries and then run the jQuery when the document loads.

    Did you include the script that runs on document ready?

    I literally copied and pasted the design elements. The jQueryDatePicker XPage has that, but doesn't display the calendar.png and complains about the script block that contains that 'on document ready' part. I copy-pasted the CSS and JS folders from your Demo File into the WebContent folder using the Navigator view. So, I'm not sure what I missed in copying….

    I was putting the css and js folders as subdirectories of WEB-INF and that's why it wouldn't find them.

    Problem solved! One of the first things I wanted to check was file location. Good job!
