jquery ui datepicker modification. - javascript

i would like to display some information about the datepicker when input field is clicked.
something similar to this
i want to show information about the datepicker where "from" and "to" fields in this image are placed.
i guess the logic applied here is that when clicking the input, it shows a div, inside which is their calendar. but i dont have good grasp of javascript to understand the code. can i get some code examples how this was done with some explanations.
my requirements of datepicker was met from:

Information Dialog Box when selecting input fields

I have searched, but cannot find the answer to this question. I think I just do not know the proper name for what I am trying to achieve.
Basically, I want to setup some input fields as if we are creating an account at a website. However, I would like a dialog box to pop up to the right of the input field when the user clicks inside of the input field. This dialog box pop up would provide further information of what exactly needs to go inside the input field to guide the user. I would like the dialog box to not be interactive so it does not get in the way.
I am sure there is some tutorial out there for this. However, I am guessing I just do not know the correct name for this function.
I think you mean a tooltip dialog type of functionality provided by Dojo. This link should provide you with some explanation and examples. The examples show on a button but can be easily done on input field also.
I am pretty sure this would be present in other technologies also like jQuery.

jQuery DatePicker & DateTimePicker

I have faced a little problem while trying to use this two jquery plugins. Hope someone can help me out with this.
The first plugin (DatePicker) I have used is the default one that comes with the jqueryui.
The second plugin (DateTimePicker) is the DateTimePicker from http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/
What I am trying to achieve is to have a user-defined date range like the sample provided in the jqueryui, with two textboxes (specify start date and end date) http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/date-range.html
While having another datetimepicker to allow user to select a datetime within the date specified above.
Here's a sample: http://jsfiddle.net/uyB52/1/
However, the issue here is that whenever I try to add in the datetimepicker javascript, the datepicker will not function properly. It will not be able to set the minimum date range as what it is suppose to be.
Have anyone encountered the same issue before? Can some one please advice me? I am still new to programming. Thanks in advance!
It looks like your datetimepicker plugin interferes with jQuery UI (although it is supposed to be a working jQuery UI plugin). There may are possibilities to fix this issue, but I would recommend to use no or another plugin for picking the time (which works).
If you want to use a datetimepicker, you will have to search for different plugins and find out which one fits your needs best. I can not really recommend a plugin because it depends on your requirements.
But you could also go without a datetimepicker plugin and only use jQuery UI instead? Have a look at this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uyB52/7/
The idea is to use jQuery UI's datepicker for picking dates, and use dropdown boxes for choosing the time. You could also let the user input the time in an input field and validate it. Or, instead of dropdown boxes, use the jQuery UI slider.
Got it. You should convert string into Date as minDate and maxDate options take Date object.
$("#from").datepicker("option", "maxDate", new Date(selected_date))

jquery plugin to display a 'clear' button in a search input box

I am having trouble trying to find something I know that does exist. In some forms your can clear your textbox by clicking on a 'cross'. It looks like this
I am looking for a JQuery plugin that can add that to a textbox for me. Any help is appreciated.
Hows this for an option:
http://jsfiddle.net/ajthomascouk/hQLzX/
So basically i've enclosed the input and img inside a span, which will act as the parent.
UPDATE
I've improved my answer - http://jsfiddle.net/ajthomascouk/apgws/
Still does the same thing except now you dont have to hard code it, jQuery will do it.

jQuery - DatePicker showing up on top of text input field

I have a form with a TextField for entering a date. I have a DatePicker "set" on this field. However, it appears on top of the field. I do not want it to obscure the text field. How do I go about doing this?
Make sure that there's enough room below your input field for the whole date picker box to be rendered. By "room", I mean space in the enclosing window. The date picker tries to make sure that its display fits in the window, but it's pretty clumsy about it.
You might also want to look at the CSS for the date picker. In my opinion the default spacing for the calendar makes it ridiculously over-sized. You can tighten that up pretty easily; use Firebug to play around with it.
