Twitter Bootstrap Datepicker within modal window
I am currently using the Twitter Bootstrap framework, and when using the modal windows I cannot get over js elements to work like datepicker or validation, though chosen and uniform render correctly. please see my modal window below:
<div class="modal hide in" id="newMember" style="display: block; " aria-hidden="false">
<div class="modal-header">
<button class="close" data-dismiss="modal" type="button">×</button>
<h3>New Member Form</h3>
</div>
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/players" class="form-horizontal" id="new_user" method="post"><div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline"><input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓"><input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="KdL6cc2Vb53qeMY+PpBUS70myT4HX1uWofMUBolLea8="></div>

Answer
add z-index above 1051 in class datepicker
add something like this in page or css
<style>
.datepicker{z-index:1151 !important;}
</style>
