The Views Plugin is outputting it's own datepicker.css file, which is causing the date picker not to work. Screenshot

so then... it's their problem? I mean everything was playing nice together until the latest GF update. What do you suggest for a work around? I mean I'll post your response on their forum but I'm pretty sure they'll point the finger back at GF.

It's not a matter of pointing fingers. That's not my intent here. What I'm showing you in this screenshot is a stylesheet is getting loaded in (from their plugin) that has a display:none property. We haven't changed or updated any of our date picker styles (or any styles for that matter) in recent updates. You can weed through it all and override those styles with custom styles if you'd like.

Does their stylesheet serve a purpose on this page? Is it even needed? That would be something worth asking - I have not personally used that plugin before and I'm more interested in helping you solved the problem than pointing fingers - so I hope you didn't take any offense by me pointing that out.

Thank you Rob -- sorry -- it's been a rather stressful day... I really don't think their styling is needed and any fix for this would be HUGELY appreciated.

No worries at all. Try dropping this CSS into your theme's stylesheet and see what happens:
```
[css]
body #ui-datepicker-div {
width: auto !important;
}
body #ui-datepicker-div .ui-datepicker {
display: block;
}
```
