title: jQuery Datepicker okay on first load of a page but fails thereafter
body: <p>This is the second time I have asked this question.  Neither the responses I received initially nor any of the myriad of other answers to similar questions have helped me to solve the problem.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that once a datepicker object is initialized, a second initialization causes it to fail.  I have tried all sorts of blurring and destroying but nothing has worked for me.</p>
  
  <p>Please take a look at <a href="http://www.dmdefd.com/testing/divtest.html" rel="nofollow">this simple page which demonstrates the problem</a></p>
  
  <p>Here is the javascript for the page that contains the datepicker input elements...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready (function(){
       sp = " ";
       lf = '\n'
  
  
    $(function (){
       $("input#datepicker").datepicker(); 
       $("input#datepicker2").datepicker();   
    })
  
  
  })// document ready
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would truly appreciate any help to get this working.  I've already spent about eight hours with no success.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
