Been building a new form with Expression Engine 2.9.2, however when trying to use the datepicker, it seems to be using a very old version of JQuery UI, so old that it only actually functions at all in Chrome.

Both Firefox and IE (latest and older versions I've tested) don't actually get a working date-picker at all, they literally get no field. I've tried using it as a date field, a text field and several classes the datepicker is mean to pick up (datepicker, hasDatepicker).

Looking at it, this seems be a very old version of JQuery UI from several years ago which explains why it doesn't function, however when I download the latest version, the file layout and names are all completely different so its not just a simple matter of replacing the files with the more up to date versions.

So, is there a relatively simple way to update the version of JQuery UI that EE use or is it easier to just disable the EE built-in datepicker and use an external one to do the same job?

I'm also curious as to why EE would be using such an old version of JQuery UI?

    I've always found it easier to add include_assets="no" and include the external files that you need manually. That way you have a lot more control and can pick and choose the files/scripts you need.

There's no easy way, but I've just answered a similar question here : EE 2.10.1 jQuery & jQuery UI update

Of course Brandon's answer seems alot more succinct!!!
