Description

In my current group we are finding the need to extend date picker with an afterShow event. This is the second time I have had to do this for an implementation. Just thought I would suggest this as an enhancement or at least inquire why the decision was made to not include it previously. Thanks in advance, I hope this is the right forum for this request as it is my first.

I would also like to see this event added to the datepicker. I have been trying to implement a more advanced view of the datepicker for displaying custom content within the date fields.

Adding this event would allow much greater customisation of the rendered datepicker.

I also need this event to apply advanced formatting.

It can be added to the end of the _updateDatepicker function.

Hi,

if you need a "afterShow"-event befor version 1.9 you can overwrite the datepicker._updateDatepicker fuction.

for example:

$(function() {
	$.datepicker._updateDatepicker_original = $.datepicker._updateDatepicker;
	$.datepicker._updateDatepicker = function(inst) {
		$.datepicker._updateDatepicker_original(inst);
		var afterShow = this._get(inst, 'afterShow');
		if (afterShow)
			afterShow.apply((inst.input ? inst.input[0] : null));  // trigger custom callback
	}
});

I know it isn't the best way to slove this problem, but it's better than change the original jquery-ui code.

This should just be implemented as an open event to match other widgets. The beforeShow callback will be removed.
