jquery ui datepicker doesn't update values

Question

Using the jquery datepicker ui, the value attributes of the associated html fields don't update immediately.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/4tXP4/

From the horses mouth: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/alt-field.html

If you inspect the elements you will see that neither value attributes update.

What' missing with these?

if you don't want another input field then use onSelect but the .val function does not update the value attribute, so you need to be a bit more raw

$("#datepicker_start").datepicker({
    onSelect: function(dateText, datePicker) {
       $(this).attr('value', dateText);
    }
});

working demo http://jsfiddle.net/UBMXq/ or http://jsfiddle.net/3BLwK/9/ or http://jsfiddle.net/wrCv7/

1 things:

missing # "altField":"#startDate"
(optional) i.e. DateFormat might need some attention - I reckon dont use value in your hidden input

Hope this helps! :)

code

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#startDate_picker").datepicker({
        "altField":"#startDate",
        "dateFormat":"d M y",
        "altFormat":"Y-m-d",
        "changeMonth":true,
        "changeYear":true
    });
});
