jquery datepicker not working

[M sallu]

Hi, I am trying to use datepicker ui widget from jquery. It is scripting and showing the calendar and lets the user select a date and display in the text area.

But it is not reading that property.

<P>Date: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" property="holidayDate"
					id="datepicker" /></P>
				<script type="text/javascript"> 
				  $(document).ready( 
				      function() { 
			          $('#datepicker').datepicker( 
            		  { 
		                  onClose: function(dateText, inst) { 
                          alert("My date is: " + dateText); 
        		             } 
			              } 
			          ); 
			      } 
			  ); 
			</script>

"But it is not reading that property"

What is "that property"?
