Hi Plugg,

The date field is composed of two input fields, the text field and the image field.  The getFieldByName("_actual_plan_build") function will return an array with two elements.  The code you've shared will enable the text field only, but it's a simple fix to also enable the datepicker field.  Right after that line of code, add:

getFieldByName("_actual_plan_bill").getElementsByTagName("input")[1].disabled = false;
You may also need to change the image of the calendar to the non-disabled file, which can be done by adding this line:
getFieldByName("_actual_plan_bill").getElementsByTagName("input")[1].src = "../images/calendar-disabled.svg";
Hope this helps,
Kate

Kate,

Thanks for your response. However, I still can't get the calendar to work. After adding both lines of code, the calendar is now greyed out. could it be i'm using the disabled.svg?
