Use JQuery Datepicker on dynamically created fields

jquery jquery-ui wordpress jquery-ui-datepicker

you have id="datepicker" for all your datepicker inputs, but ids are supposed to be unique in a given DOM. use class="datepicker" instead. and also, since you're using jquery anyways, you dont need to use vanilla javascript onclick function.

demo: http://jsfiddle.net/swm53ran/331/

<div class="mytemplate" style="display: none;">
    <input class="datepicker" type="text" name="name[]"/>
</div>
<div class="dates">
    <div>
        <input class="datepicker" type="text" name="name[]"/>
    </div>
</div>
<input type="button" class="addmore" value="Add more">

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.addmore').on('click', function() {
        $(".mytemplate").clone().removeClass("mytemplate").show().appendTo(".dates");
    });
    $(document).on("focus", ".datepicker", function(){
        $(this).datepicker();
    });
});
