an extension of my last question, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2562986/getdate-with-jquery-datepicker ,
I am trying
to use the jquery datepicker
to load specific info from
xml file dependent on the date selected by the user. Similar code but i am trying
to load and parse an
xml file
to read contents of the file for the particular date.
In a perfect world the user would tap a date and below the datepicker html output would give the user specific times for the selected date instead of my last project of an image.
my probelm is nothing is loading, so my question is what am i doing wrong?
my code is as follows
<!DOCTYPE html>
<link type="text/css" href="css/ui-darkness/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
