I am using jquery UI date-picker to get the date with min and max date range value, it's working on selecting the date using the date-picker widget, but it gets invalid values using the keyboard. I want to get the date by keyboard as well as mouse. Please help me to get valid date value or to show an error message of the invalid date value.
datepicker
You can use code as below :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(".datePicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'd/mm/yy',
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
firstDay: 1,
minDate: Date.parse("1900-01-01"),
maxDate: Date.parse("2100-01-01"),
yearRange: "c-90:c+150"
});
$(function () {
$.validator.addMethod(
"date",
function (value, element) {
// Here you can set date range
var minDate = Date.parse("1900-01-01");
var maxDate = Date.parse("2100-01-01");
var valueEntered = Date.parse(value);
if (valueEntered < minDate || valueEntered > maxDate) {
return false;
}
return !/Invalid|NaN/.test(new Date(minDate));
},
"Please enter a valid date!"
);
});
</script>
I have two text boxes with a datepicker hooked up to them. The text boxes are for start date and end date. The first datepicker is setup so that the user cannot choose a date before today, but can choose any date in the future.
How can I setup the second datepicker so that it cannot choose a date before the date chosen in the first date picker? For example: If today is 12/11/10 and I choose 12/15/10 in the first datepicker, then the second date picker shouldn't be able to choose anything before 12/15/10.
Heres what I have so far:
$("#txtStartDate").datepicker({ minDate: 0 });
$("#txtEndDate").datepicker({});
For example, in this sample code, startDatePicker is selected as 2010-12-12, change event of startDatePicker sets the minDate of endDatePicker 2010-12-13. It locks the cells before this date. This is a sample for what #Victor mentioned..I hope it helps...Regards...Ozlem.
$("#startDatePicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
changeMonth: true,
minDate: new Date(),
maxDate: '+2y',
onSelect: function(date){
var selectedDate = new Date(date);
var msecsInADay = 86400000;
var endDate = new Date(selectedDate.getTime() + msecsInADay);
//Set Minimum Date of EndDatePicker After Selected Date of StartDatePicker
$("#endDatePicker").datepicker( "option", "minDate", endDate );
$("#endDatePicker").datepicker( "option", "maxDate", '+2y' );
}
});
$("#endDatePicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
changeMonth: true
});
Update:
The approach above set the minDate only on creation time.
I used the onSelect event to change the minDate option of the second datepicker like this:
$("#txtStartDate").datepicker({
showOn: "both",
onSelect: function(dateText, inst){
$("#txtEndDate").datepicker("option","minDate",
$("#txtStartDate").datepicker("getDate"));
}
});
the Tin Man's solution worked for me after adding $("#txtEndDate").datepicker() at the bottom
$("#txtStartDate").datepicker({
showOn: "both",
onSelect: function(dateText, inst){
$("#txtEndDate").datepicker("option","minDate",
$("#txtStartDate").datepicker("getDate"));
}
});
$("#txtEndDate").datepicker(); //it is not working with out this line
try this man:
$("#dateTo").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
minDate: new Date()
}).datepicker("setDate", new Date());
$("#dateFrom").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
onSelect: function(){
$('#dateTo').datepicker('option', 'minDate', $("#dateFrom").datepicker("getDate"));
}
}).datepicker("setDate", new Date());
$('#start_date').datepicker({
endDate: new Date(),
autoclose: true,
}).on("changeDate", function (e) {
$('#end_date').datepicker('setStartDate', e.date);
});
$('#end_date').datepicker({
autoclose: true,
});
From a pure UI standpoint, you shouldn't. If the user picks the wrong month on both datepickers, and tries to select the correct month, he has a 50% change of being hindered by the UI. Ideally, you would allow the incorrect selection and display a helpful error message saying the end date should be after the end date.
If you wish to implement your idea : give each datepicker a "change" event that changes the options on the other datepicker appropriately.
Use the "getDate" method of the first datepicker UI and pass it into minDate option of the second datepicker:
$("#txtEndDate").datepicker({
showOn: "both",
minDate: $("#txtStartDate").datepicker("getDate")
});
Use This Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#txtStartDate").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
inline: true,
minDate: 'dateToday'
});
$("#txtEndDate").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
inline: true,
minDate: $("#txtStartDate").datepicker("getDate") });
});
</script>
Hi everyone going to show what works with me in this case:
2 Datepickers ( DateFrom and DateTo)
HTML:
<!-- Datapicker dateFrom -->
<label for="dateFrom"> Date from: </label>
<div>
<input type="text" id="dateFrom" class="form-control" autocomplete="off"
th:placeholder="Enter a date From.."/>
</div>
<!-- Datapicker dateTo-->
<label for="dateTo"> Date to: </label>
<div>
<input type="text" id="dateTo" class="form-control" autocomplete="off"
th:placeholder="Enter a date to..."/>
</div>
Next you build your datapickers in JavaScript:
Datapicker activation (With YOUR datapicker build requirements)
$("#dateFrom").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
showButtonPanel: true
});
$('#dateTo').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
showButtonPanel: true
});
-And finally on the OnChange Event, for every time a Date is picked in any of the datepickers the selectable range avaliable in the other Datapicker changes.
$("body").on("change", "#dateFrom", function() {
$('#dateTo').datepicker('option', 'minDate', $("#dateFrom").datepicker("getDate"));
});
$("body").on("change", "#dateTo", function() {
$('#dateFrom').datepicker('option', 'maxDate', $("#dateTo").datepicker("getDate"));
});
This make the DateTo DataPicker limit on change the date of the DateFrom Datapicker and viceversa.
$startDateCtrl.change(function () {
setMinEndDateValue($startDateCtrl, $endDateCtrl);
});
$endDateCtrl.datepicker();
I have two Date picker start and end.
End Date min and max date we are setting based on the selection from start.
Min start date for End date picker is start date from start picker selection.
Max end date for end date picker is selected start date from start date picker + 7 days.
function setMinEndDateValue($startDateCtrl, $endDateCtrl) {
var $maxSchedulingDate = new Date(#MaxDate.Year, #MaxDate.Month -1, #MaxDate.Day );
var $startDate = $startDateCtrl.val();
var $selectedStartDate = new Date($startDate);
$selectedStartDate.setDate($selectedStartDate.getDate() + 7); // increasing the start date by 7 days (End Date max)
var $maxEndDate = new Date();
if ($selectedStartDate > $maxSchedulingDate) {
$maxEndDate = $maxSchedulingDate;
}
else {
$maxEndDate = $selectedStartDate;
}
$endDateCtrl.datepicker("option", "minDate", $startDate);
$endDateCtrl.datepicker("option", "maxDate", $maxEndDate);
}
Building on the previous answers in this thread, I felt a solution that worked with defaults and reapplied both min and max dates would be useful:
// Defaults
var defaultFromDate = new Date();
var defaultToDate = new Date();
defaultToDate.setMonth(defaultToDate.getMonth() + 1);
// To
$("#datepickerTo").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
});
$("#datepickerTo").datepicker("setDate", defaultToDate);
function limitToDateSpan(currentFromDate) {
$("#datepickerTo").datepicker("option", "minDate", currentFromDate);
var maxDate = new Date(currentFromDate.getTime());
maxDate.setFullYear(maxDate.getFullYear() + 1);
$("#datepickerTo").datepicker("option", "maxDate", maxDate);
}
limitToDateSpan(defaultFromDate);
// From
$("#datepickerFrom").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
minDate: "2013-01-01",
maxDate: "+1Y",
onSelect: function (dateText) {
limitToDateSpan(new Date(dateText));
}
});
$("#datepickerFrom").datepicker("setDate", defaultFromDate);
$("#<%=txtFromDate.ClientID%>").datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
dateFormat: 'dd-M-yy',
showOn: "button",
buttonImage: "../Images/Calendar.png",
buttonImageOnly: true,
yearRange: '-20:+20',
buttonText: "Date with abbreviated month name",
onSelect: function (selected) {
var dt = new Date(selected);
dt.setDate(dt.getDate() + 1);
$("#<%=txtToDate.ClientID%>").datepicker("option", "minDate", dt);
}
});
$("#<%=txtToDate.ClientID%>").datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
dateFormat: 'dd-M-yy',
showOn: "button",
buttonImage: "../Images/Calendar.png",
buttonImageOnly: true,
yearRange: '-20:+20',
buttonText: "Date with abbreviated month name",
onSelect: function (selected) {
var dt = new Date(selected);
dt.setDate(dt.getDate() - 1);
$("#<%=txtFromDate.ClientID%>").datepicker("option", "maxDate", dt);
}
});
I am using jquery datepicker to show a calendar.Now as per my requirement i want to get the date selected by the user in my jquery variable which i will use in my application but i am not able to get the date ..
Here is the code for datepciker
<div id="datepicker"></div>
and here i am trying to get the selected code..
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect: function (dateText, inst) {
var date = $(this).val();
alert(date);
}
});
});
But, I am not able to get the date ..Please help me ..Thanks..
This should do the trick
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
$("#datepicker").on("change",function(){
var selected = $(this).val();
alert(selected);
});
});
It's basic but here is a jsfiddle with it alerting the selected date when selected
update to change the date format
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });
$("#datepicker").on("change",function(){
var selected = $(this).val();
alert(selected);
});
});
jsfiddle
3rd update
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
onSelect: function(){
var selected = $(this).val();
alert(selected);
}
});
});
I have used a little more of the native markup for datepicker ui here try this and see if you get the alert as you are after.
4th Update
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
onSelect: function(){
var selected = $(this).datepicker("getDate");
alert(selected);
}
});
});
The 4th method uses $(this).datepicker("getDate") instead of $(this).val() as $(this).datepicker("getDate") returns a date object and $(this).val() returns the date as a string.
Depending on your needs select which one is appropriate.
(Added 4th method and explanation of the difference after #TimothyC.Quinn commented that the getDate being the correct method)
Though, question is answered, for people who just want a date object or set a date with specific format. There is simple functions jQuery provides. Here's working jsfiddle
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy" });
$("#datepicker").datepicker('setDate', '10-03-2020');
// pass string of your format or Date() object
$("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate');
// returns Date() object
$("#another_datepicker").datepicker('setDate', $("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate'));
// pass string of your format or Date() object
Try
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect:function(selectedDate)
{
alert(selectedDate);
}
});
OR
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect:function (dateText, inst)
{
alert(inst);
}
});
try this
$('.selector').datepicker({
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { ... }
})
you have two elements with the class .datepicker, the selector won't know which element to choose from. So, you'll have to specify the name of the input you're trying to get the date from
first = $(".datepicker[name=datepicker1]").datepicker('getDate');
second = $(".datepicker[name=datepicker2]").datepicker('getDate');
You can use the changeDate event outlined here instead of onSelect and then reference e.date or e.dates. See the JSON below.
HTML:
<div id='QA'></div>
<div id='datepicker'></div>
JS:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
clearBtn: true,
todayHighlight: false,
multidate: true
}) .on('changeDate', function(e){
$('#QA').html(JSON.stringify(e));
});
});
/*

"type":"changeDate",
"date":"2015-08-08T07:00:00.000Z",

The ideal way is to get the date and convert it to a common format and utilize the same. (may passing to server or so.)
$("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate').toISOString()
so it will get the date in ISO stander.
All code is for Bootstrap Datepicker
var calendar = $('#calendar').datepicker("getDate"); // Ex: Tue Jun 29 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0600 (Bangladesh Standard Time)
or
var calendar = $('#calendar').data('datepicker').getFormattedDate('yyyy-mm-dd'); // Ex: 2021-06-30
if(calendar){
alert(calendar);
} else {
alert('null');
}
If you need it in specific format like '2021/09/28':
$.datepicker.formatDate('yy/mm/dd',
$('.date-picker-2').datepicker("getDate")
);
Here is how to get Date object from datepicker in the onSelect event:
$("#datepickerid").datepicker({
onSelect: function (dateText, inst) {
var date_obj = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
}
});
I find it strange that the onSelect caller would not return the date object by default.
I wrote a simple function to set min/max dates for datepicker and format selected date.
But when I set the range the format returns to default mm/dd/yy
Please note that the page in HTML5.
and here the code
$(function () {
var pickerFormat = {
dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy"
};
var range = {
minDate: "-2y",
maxDate: new Date()
};
$("#datepicker1").datepicker(range, pickerFormat);
});
Use the same object for both date format and picker range.
for example
$(function () {
var pickerFormatrange = {
dateFormat:"dd/mm/yy",
minDate: "-2y",
maxDate: new Date()
};
$("#datepicker1").datepicker(pickerFormatrange);
});
I am trying to check if a date is older than today's date & show an error if true. What is currently happening is if the month is less than today's month, the error is showing even if the year is set to 2014 or beyond. For example today is 4/18/2013 which doesn't have an error, but 4/17/2014 & 3/17/2014 get errors but 5/17/2013 does not. It seems the year is being ignored during the check. Hope that made a little sense...
$("#expDate").datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
minDate: 0,
onClose: function(selectedDate) {
var currDate = $.datepicker.formatDate('mm/dd/yy', new Date());
if (selectedDate < currDate) {
$("#warning").append("The number has expired");
} else {
$("#warning").html("");
}
}
});
You can do it directly with maxDate option
$("#datepicker").datepicker({ maxDate: new Date() });
