JSF2.0 & Datepicker

[Octav Bund]

Hello,
help me please to solve one little problem:
how to assign a jQuery Datepicker tu <h:inputText> tag...
Haw I do:

	<script>
	$(function() {
		$("#date").datepicker({
			dateFormat : "m/d/y",
			showOn: "button",
			firstDay : 1,
			buttonText : "Select date",
			buttonImage: "Images/datepicker.png",
			buttonImageOnly: true
		});
	});
	</script>

<h:form>
....
<h:inputText value="#{contact.date_connect}" size="25" styleClass="component" id="date">
....
</h:form>
but it not work in this way ... because id is the unique identifier value for this component. The value must be unique within the closest naming container (e.g.,h:form or f:subview).This value must be a static value.

thank you !
