Datepicker: Problem selecting the date with keyboard shorcuts

[azran1981]

From ​http://forum.jquery.com/topic/problem-selecting-the-date-with-keyboard-shorcuts

Open the datepicker. Then using crtl+arrow select the date and then press enter, the first time the date is selected, but if you repeat this process 3 or 4 times, the date selection fails and it keeps the old value. This always works using the mouse.

you can test it here ​http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/

I am using firefox and iexplorer 7,8

As of jQuery 1.4 the results from .add() will always be returned in document order (rather than a simple concatenation). ​http://api.jquery.com/add/. Fix: ​http://github.com/nmb10/jquery-ui/commit/3cc7a9c80aac6bbed447fa13dd4ced0c99a152ba

Simple fix(I don't understand why we want to select the current, it's already selected. But I might be missing some logic so I keep it in there)

From this:

var sel = $('td.' + $.datepicker._dayOverClass, inst.dpDiv).add($('td.' + $.datepicker._currentClass, inst.dpDiv));
if (sel[0]){

To this:

var sel = $('td.' + $.datepicker._dayOverClass, inst.dpDiv);
if(sel.length===0) sel = $('td.' + $.datepicker._currentClass, inst.dpDiv);
if(sel.length!==0){

Regarding nmb.ten commit: Might "if(sel.length!==0)" be better then "if(sel)"?!

FYI: I feel that it should display the date picker on ctrl+down ( "home" is not used much ) also .attr('autocomplete','off') for the input element
