So here is the setup:
I have two jquery datepickers, inside a jquery tab, inside a jquery modal dialog window:

```
\---/\---/\---/_______________
/                            /
\                            \
/  DATEPICKER1               /
\                            \
/  DATEPICKER2               /
\                            \
/                            /
\                            \
/____________________________/

```

The first datepicker functions normally, but when I try to click a date in the second datepicker it simply activates the first one. Did you follow that? :)

So to sum up, clicking a date in datepicker2 activates datepicker1.

I have no idea why this is happening - they have different ids and names, as outlined below.

To create the datepickers I'm just using:

```
$(function() {
    $("#datepicker1").datepicker();
    $("#datepicker2").datepicker();
});

```

The fields are simply:

```
<input type="text" id="datepicker1" name="datepicker1" value="" />
<input type="text" id="datepicker2" name="datepicker2" value="" />

```

I'm using jQuery v1.9.0 and jQueryui v1.10.0.

Any thoughts on this? As a caveat, I am unable to post actual code due to restrictions from my employer, but I can answer most questions if you need any clarification. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!

On your example both datepickers have different id's and name's, however, the problem you describe is exactly what'll happen if you use the same name for both.

Does your actual code use different id and name for both datepickers?
in a js archive: 

```
$("#fecha_1").datepicker({
    dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
    dayNames: "Domingo Lunes Martes Miercoles Jueves Viernes Sabado".split(" "),
    dayNamesMin: "Do Lu Ma Mi Ju Vi Sa".split(" "),
    dayNamesShort: "Do Lu Ma Mi Ju Vi Sa".split(" "),
    monthNames: "Enero Febrero Marzo Abril Mayo Junio Julio Agosto Septiembre Octubre Noviembre Diciembre".split(" "),
    monthNamesShort: "Ene Feb Mar Abr May Jun Jul Ago Sep Oct Nov Dic".split(" "),
    prevText: "Ant",
    nextText: "Sig",
    currentText: "Hoy",
    changeMonth: !0,
    changeYear: !0,
    showAnim: "slideDown",
    yearRange: "1900:2100"
});

$("#fecha_2").datepicker({
    dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
    dayNames: "Domingo Lunes Martes Miercoles Jueves Viernes Sabado".split(" "),
    dayNamesMin: "Do Lu Ma Mi Ju Vi Sa".split(" "),
    dayNamesShort: "Do Lu Ma Mi Ju Vi Sa".split(" "),
    monthNames: "Enero Febrero Marzo Abril Mayo Junio Julio Agosto Septiembre Octubre Noviembre Diciembre".split(" "),
    monthNamesShort: "Ene Feb Mar Abr May Jun Jul Ago Sep Oct Nov Dic".split(" "),
    prevText: "Ant",
    nextText: "Sig",
    currentText: "Hoy",
    changeMonth: !0,
    changeYear: !0,
    showAnim: "slideDown",
    yearRange: "1900:2100"
}); 

```
