JQuery does not load the calendar in a loop and merge block after the first block | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hello,
I am trying to implement the jQuery datepicker in a loop and merge block. It works fine for the first loop but after that, the calendar does not show up when I click on the text field for entering a date. I notice that this also happens when hitting the back button after selecting a date. Is this an issue with the Qualtrics survey engine or jQuery itself?

Here is the code that I am currently using (credit to @fleb):


```
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title> Datepicker</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$( function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
minDate: '-30',
maxDate: '-1'
});
} );

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function()
{
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("date${lm://CurrentLoopNumber}", document.getElementById("datepicker").value );

});

</script>
</head>
<body>

Enter a date: <input type="text" id="datepicker">

</body>

```
@JordanP,

Below code should be able to resolve your issue.

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/
jQuery("#ui-datepicker-div").remove();
});
