Datepicker still displayed when triggering element destroyed

[Simon Cusack]

Hi all,

I have an issue where the datepicker is used on page that has a number of dynamic elements that get rerendered in response to messages from the server (via websockets).

If the datepicker happens to be open at the time when the input that opened it is recreated then the datepicker remains open and shifts itself to the top left of the browser.

As soon as you click anywhere it closes of course but it looks ugly and the users consider it a bug.

It would be difficult to put a "close" instruction during the rerender cycle, I'm looking for a way to notify the datepicker that it's related input has gone and close.

Any ideas?

Kind regards, Simon.
