Date must be selected twice to validate.

I have a questionnaire form and the validation for a date picker must be selected twice to clear the validation error.

Yes this is because the blur event fires when the datepicker opens and then doesn't fire again once it is set.

I think the issue can be solved by calling the blur() event in the javascript after the date has been picked. If you give me a url where I can see the problem I can suggest where to add it.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Try using the onClose event of the datepicker to call the blur event of the input field.

$(function(){
	$('#DOB').datepicker({
		dateFormat:"d M, yy",
		changeMonth: true,
		changeYear: true,
		yearRange: "1937:2017",
		onClose: function() {
		  $(this).trigger('blur');
                }
	});
});
