I find it odd that input type="date" is still not supported in Firefox after all of this time. In fact, I don't think they added in much (if any) of the HTML 5 new types on an input element. Not surprised that it is not supported in IE10. So, my question is...
How to get type="date" on an input element working without adding, yet another, .js file (namely jQueryUI DatePicker Widget) just to get a calendar/date for only IE and Firefox Browsers? Is there something out there that can be applied somewhere (CDN perhaps?) that will make this functionality work by default in Firefox and/or IE Browsers?? Trying to target IE 8+ Browsers and for Firefox, doesn't matter, newest version (28.0) will be fine.
UPDATE: Firefox 57+ supports input type=date
You can try webshims, which is available on cdn + only loads the polyfill, if it is needed.
Here is a demo with CDN:
http://jsfiddle.net/trixta/BMEc9/
<!-- cdn for modernizr, if you haven't included it already -->
<script src="http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/webshim/1.12.4/extras/modernizr-custom.js"></script>
<!-- polyfiller file to detect and load polyfills -->
<script src="http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/webshim/1.12.4/polyfiller.js"></script>
<script>
webshims.setOptions('waitReady', false);
webshims.setOptions('forms-ext', {types: 'date'});
webshims.polyfill('forms forms-ext');
</script>
<input type="date" />
In case the default configuration does not satisfy, there are many ways to configure it. Here you find the datepicker configurator.
Note: While there might be new bugfix releases for webshim in the future. There won't be any major releases anymore. This includes support for jQuery 3.0 or any new features.
It is in Firefox since version 51 (January 26, 2017),
but it is not activated by default (yet)
To activate it:
about:config
dom.forms.datetime -> set to true
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Experimental_features
There's a simple way to get rid of this restriction by using the datePicker component provided by jQuery.
Include jQuery and jQuery UI libraries
(I'm still using an old one)
src="js/jquery-1.7.2.js"
src="js/jquery-ui-1.7.2.js"
Use the following snip
$(function() {
$( "#id_of_the_component" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
});
See jQuery UI DatePicker - Change Date Format if needed.
The type="date" is not an actual specification at this point. It is a concept Google came up with and is in their whatwg specifications (not official) and is only partially supported by Chrome.
http://caniuse.com/#search=date
I would not rely on this input type at this point. It would be nice to have, but I do not foresee this one actually making it. The #1 reason is it puts too much burden on the browser to determine the best UI for a somewhat complicated input. Think about it from a responsive perspective, how would any of the vendors know what will work best with your UI say at 400 pixels, 800 pixels and 1200 pixels wide?
Here is a full example with the date formatted in YYYY-MM-DD
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/webshim/1.14.5/polyfiller.js"></script>
<script>
webshims.setOptions('forms-ext', {types: 'date'});
webshims.polyfill('forms forms-ext');
$.webshims.formcfg = {
en: {
dFormat: '-',
dateSigns: '-',
patterns: {
d: "yy-mm-dd"
}
}
};
</script>
<input type="date" />
While this doesn't allow you to get a datepicker ui, Mozilla does allow the use of pattern, so you can at least get date validation with something like this:
pattern='(?:19|20)[0-9]{2}-(?:(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(?:0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9])|(?:(?!02)(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(?:30))|(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])-31))'
Ultimately I agree with #SuperUberDuper in that Mozilla is way behind on including this natively.
This is just a suggestion that follows Dax's answer. (I would put it in a comment at that answer, but I don't have enough reputation yet to comment on others questions).
Id's should be unique for every field, so, if you have multiple date fields in your form (or forms), you could use the class element instead of the ID:
$(function() { $( ".datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' }); });
and your input as:
<input type="text" class="datepicker" name="your-name" />
Now, every time you need the date picker, just add that class. PS I know, you still have to use the js :(, but at least you're set for all your site.
My 2 cents...
The latest version of firefox the firefox 57(Quantum) supports date and other features it was released on November 14, 2017. You can download it by clicking this link
Sometimes you do not want use Datepicker http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/ in your project because:
You do not want use jquery
Conflict of jquery versions in your project
Choice of the year is not convenient. For example you need 120 clicks on the prev button for moving to 10 years ago.
Please see my very simple cross browser code for date input. My code apply only if your browser is not supports the date type input

You can use this datepicker functionality in anywhere just need to call on Master.aspx or Layout page
Include jQuery and jQuery UI libraries (I'm still using an old one)
src="js/jquery-1.7.2.js"
src="js/jquery-ui-1.7.2.js"
then add this script and this is working on all platforms.
<script>
jQuery(function ($) { // wait until the DOM is ready
$(".editorDate").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });
});`
</script>
you can add this "editorDate" on multiple pages.
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.FromDate, "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", htmlAttributes: new {
#class = "form-control editorDate"})
Thank Alexander, I found a way how to modify format for en lang. (Didn't know which lang uses such format)
$.webshims.formcfg = {
en: {
dFormat: '/',
dateSigns: '/',
patterns: {
d: "yy/mm/dd"
}
}
};
$.webshims.activeLang('en');
Here is the proper solution.
You should use jquery datepicker everywhere
<script>
$( function() {
$( ".simple_date" ).datepicker();
} );

I had to use bootstrap-datepicker plugin to get the calendar working on Firefox 55 Portable:
https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Compatible with Bootstrap v2 and v3. It comes with a standalone stylesheet so you don't have to depend on Bootstrap.
Usage:
<input class="datepicker">
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
format: 'mm/dd/yyyy'
});

So yesterday I asked a question about setting the date for a calendar. I was missing some references so have since added them. Please see the HTML section below.
I believe my code to be correct for how to set the date for a calendar. However upon loading the page I get these errors,
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token datepicker.css:11
The specified value "09/01/2018" does not conform to the required format, "yyyy-MM-dd".
jquery.js:8254
Not sure why this is not working and where the date "09/01/2018" is coming from at all?
I also think in my the datepicker.css should be like below.
link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/datepicker/0.6.5/datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
When I do this the Uncaught SyntaxError message disappears but still have the other issue.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dtSelectorStatic").datepicker();
$("#dtSelectorStatic").datepicker("setDate", new Date(2018, 8, 1));
});

Update
Below are all the references I have in my page. One thing (might be nothing) but when I type "script src=" the intelli sense picks on my folder scripts and list 3 files (image below, jQES is the file I created) but it does not list the other two files also in that folder, jquery-ui.js or jquery-ui.min.js

This is how it looks on load up.
If I click in the area where the blue arrow is pointing to the calendar below is shown.
If I click on the big black arrow I get both calendars
I have another calendar box which is exactly the same. Which only shows the calendar shown below no matter what I do. The only difference is that on load up I do not try to set the date as I do in the calendar above.
<input id="someId" type="date"/>
jquery-ui datepicker docs (scroll at least 1 line up, there's no id on Additional Notes, that was the closest element I could link to) contains information about this issue:
Additional Notes:
...
Creating a datepicker on an <input type="date"> is not supported due to a UI conflict with the native picker.
This is default HTML5 input with attribute type="date":
<input type="date">
From MDN about HTML5 date input's value:
One thing to note is that the displayed date format differs from the actual value — the displayed date format will be chosen based on the set locale of the user's browser, whereas the date value is always formatted yyyy-mm-dd.
When you add jquery-ui datepicker, you see both of them. What's worse its default value format is yyyy-mm-dd (see more on mdn) so if you change format jquery-ui datepicker sets value formatted as in dateFormat property (or based on locales). It starts showing warning (not visible in snippet's console, propably console.warn is only visible in developer tools)
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dtSelectorStatic").datepicker({dateFormat: "dd-M-yy"});
$("#dtSelectorStatic").datepicker("setDate", new Date(2018, 8, 1));
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.css" />
<input type="date" id="dtSelectorStatic" />
Possible fix: if you remove attribute type="date" or set it to "text" then you get functionality of jquery-ui datepicker (see snippet below).
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dtSelectorStatic").datepicker({dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"});
$("#dtSelectorStatic").datepicker("setDate", new Date(2018, 8, 1));
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.css" />
<input id="dtSelectorStatic" />
You don't need any jquery or special date library for fixing it. Simple JS will do just fine. The problem is that the browser requires the format yyyy-mm-dd.
And toLocaleString doesn't allow the date to be in this format. So after searching I found out that this is ISO format and we can use Date().toISOString() to get the date in the required format.
I used the slice method to extract the date part only because Date().toISOString() returns date with time.
My code: date: new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10)
Try this trick
$("#datePicker").datepicker();
var qDate = '2018-08-01';
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'
}).datepicker("setDate", new Date(qDate));
Try this if need any help please comment.
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".datepicker").datepicker();
$(".datepicker").datepicker("setDate", new Date(2018, 8, 1));
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Consider the following code:
Inside jQuery document.ready:
$.fn.editable.defaults.mode = 'popup';
$("#username").editable({
send: 'never',
success: function(response, newValue) {
userModel.set('username', newValue); //update backbone model
}
});
HTML:
<div class="editable">
superuser
</div>
This throws Uncaught TypeError: this.tip(...).find is not a function at jqueryui-editable.js:4727.
I assume this is because of incompatibilities with the jQuery UI version. But how can I get around it?

I had the same error, but solved it by using an older version of jquery-ui. I was on v 1.12.0, but noticed the editable demo used 1.10.1. Using the 1.10.1 version of jquery-ui allowed me to use editable.
I'm using
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css
and
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.1/jquery-ui.min.js
I think this is a bug in the source code specific to jqueryui 1.11.4.
It doesn't look like the jquery version of the source code has been touched since 2013, so I don't think it'll be fixed anytime soon. Unfortunately this is the most functional inplace editing library I've found, so I was determined to make it work.
A decent alternative is to use the "plain" version of the library which doesn't use jqueryui at all. It appears to me to be functionally equivalent. If you want the "popup" instead of "inline" mode, you need to also grab and include poshytip
I used Datepicker plugin for getting Calendar in HTML. But my boss ordered me not to t use any jquery plugins for date picker. He is saying that I must use native code only for date picker. It should work without Javascript also.
Is it possible to create native calendar in html ?
I know html5 supports native date picker; but that is not supported by all browsers.
Can i get native date picker as following style..?
"Native" and "without JavaScript" is where this idea will not work on older browsers. You could always create an HTML5 datepicker, and non-supportive browsers will fallback to a plain textbox. You could instruct the user to enter a date in MM/DD/YYYY format, and have this format applied by the datepicker, or by hand if the datepicker is unavailable.
This page offers some advice on the HTML5 datepicker: http://html5tutorial.info/html5-date.php
Edit: Alternatively, you could just create three dropdown menus and have the user select the month, day, and year. (Of course without JS in this case, you couldn't have the number of days in a month change with the user's choice, but you could always validate their input on the server.)
You could instruct the user to enter a date in MM/DD/YYYY format, spryno724
This, a simple html5 placeholder (you can also style css placeholder) would suffice.
<input type='text' placeholder='dd/mm/yyyy' name='form[datetime]' id='datetime' />
why not make the jquery datepicker a fallback?
pseudocode:
if (! input.supports('date'))
$(input).datepicker();
this way, you get a datepicker if your browser does not support the native one. That is exactly what jQuery's original 'unobtrusive' idea was.
Look at this simple Code.
You need to add 2 js files and 1 css file from net.. Don't worry,It is simple
Here it is

I added to a website a plugin that shows a calendar and the user can choose several days. It works fine on Firefox, but it does not execute on Chrome and Opera. The strange thing is that I isolated the plugin in another website, just with this code:
<title>jQuery Datepicker</title>
<style type="text/css">
#import "jquery.datepick.css";
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.datepick.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.datepick.lang.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.datepick-es.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#popupDatepicker').datepick({multiSelect: 999, monthsToShow: 2,dateFormat: 'yyyy/mm/dd', showTrigger: '<button id="showcal" type="button" class="trigger ">' +
'<img src="img/calendar.gif" alt="Calendario"></button>'});
//$.datepick.regional['es']));
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>A popup datepicker <input type="text" id="popupDatepicker"></p>
Which is the minimum code to get the plugin working and it does work in Chrome (plugin site here)1
The problem is when I implement it on the complete website, which doesn't work. It is the same code with the same libraries included, but obviously with other code.
I have checked firebug and it does not return any error, so I am a bit lost.
Just in case in needed, my Chrome version is 18.0.1025.162, but should not be relevant.
What can be wrong?
One last thing: Is there any kind of javascript standard which would work on all browsers?
Thank you very much in advance
jQuery UI has an excellent datepicker and is a good bet to be compatible with most browsers.
Why doesn't this JavaScript work in Internet Explorer 7-8? All I am trying to do is wire up the 'click' event for multiple DIVs by using jQuery to select the DIVs by class name.
It works in Firefox, Chrome, Safari. In IE, it will only work in Browser Mode: IE 9 / Document Mode: IE 9 standards". Can't get it to work in IE 7 or 8.

Normal disclaimers: I wouldn't HAVE to use jQuery for this example, but it illustrates a problem I am having with a larger solution that does use jQuery 1.6.4. IE is often quirky, I've had to deal with it many years, but that's life.
For some reason, maybe the impending holiday, I'm overlooking something. Any ideas why I can't register the click in IE?
I think it's the type="application/javascript" in your <script> tags -
"text/javascript" is the only type that is supported by all three
browsers. However, you don't actually need to put a type. The type
attribute of a script tag will default to "text/javascript" if it is
not otherwise specified. How that will affect validation, I'm not
sure. But does that really matter anyway?
From - Why doesn't IE8 recognize type="application/javascript" in a script tag?
Try changing script tag's type attribute to text/javascript it should work fine in all the browsers.
As Shankar said originally, it's your script type not being "text/javascript"
I tried this JSFiddle in IE8 and worked fine for me.

This is not an answer but comments can't format code, so just an FYI...
This:
