I'm implementing jQuery date picker. which can pick date from calendar as well as keyboard entry. When it is picked from the calendar it's working fine.
<input type="text" id="date" />
<script>
$('#date').datepicker ({
dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy'
}).on("change", function(){
alert("You Entered: "+($(this).datepicker('getdate')));
})
Problem is when I enter, lets say 02/31/2014. which is invalid. I wanted to set a custom message to the user that $ is invalid.
But Jquery is passing on today's date for wrong entries. How can I get exact value of user entry (02/31/2014)?
When using the getdate method of jQuery, Its automatically setting to today's date for an invalid date (not sure why it is lke this in Jquery).
alert("You Entered: "+($(this).datepicker('getdate')));
instead of this use this
alert("You Entered: "+($("#date").val());
Update: Fiddle Demo

I was wondering how I would go about making a birthday calendar where I can insert dates (using JS, HTML and CSS). I already have a full calendar. I just dont know how to use input type date to insert a date into it.
Thanks
You can attach an event listener to the input field and write an appropriate event handler that processes your date.
See the code below that logs the selected date on the console.
$("#date").on('change', (event) => {
const date = $(event.target).val();
// You can do whatever you want with this date
console.log(date);
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="date" id="date" />
I have 2 text boxes namely fromDate & toDate for date search , in which by default, current day will be showed.
working code:
Jquery
(document).ready(function () {
$('.dateClass').datetimepicker({timepicker: false}); // css for displaying date without time
$('#fromDateId').datetimepicker({value: '01-01-2016', format: 'd-M-Y'}); // display current date with dd-mmm-yyyy
$('#toDateId').datetimepicker({value: '01-01-2016', format: 'd-M-Y'}); // display current date with dd-mmm-yyyy
});
Struts
<html:text property="fromDate" styleId="fromDateId" styleClass="dateClass" />
<html:text property="toDate" styleId="toDateId" styleClass="dateClass" />
Issue:
By default current day shown in both textboxes, suppose user choose different dates and submit,
db records are fetched and displayed but these 2 texboxes replaced with current dates how to avoid this.
kindly help me to resolve.
Update: There are reports this no longer works in Chrome.
This is concise and does the job:
$(".fromDateId").datepicker('setDate', new Date());
And another thing,
$(function()
{
$('.date-pick').datePicker().val(new Date().asString()).trigger('change');
});
I have this field where I can insert the date and time through a datetimepicker:
<script>
$(function() {
$('#datepicker').datetimepicker({dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'});
});
</script>
When I select the date and time, it will show the date and time perfectly in the textfield. Also when I press the submit button it will store the date and time perfectly through a DateTime() type in the database. Now I format the date that I read from the database from y-m-d to d-m-y in a function which is working fine. The problem is, if I go back to the page I submitted the date time in, it shows all the information I submitted in the input fields, except for the time. It only shows the date.
This is my input field:
<input type="text" name="date" value={{$date}} id='datepicker'>
When I var_dump($date); a few lines before the input field, I get the date and time perfectly like I want it:
11-04-2015 09:09
but in the textfield it shows:
11-04-2015
So there is nothing wrong with the variable $date.
When I submit again, it will save 11-04-2014 00:00:00.
Which makes me think there's something wrong with the format the default value is displayed in the textfield.
I already tried:
dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy HH::mm'
in the script.
I use:
https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/
and:
http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/
EDIT:
Timepicker format JS:
timeFormat: 'HH:mm'
This is a typographical error in this line:
<input type="text" name="date" value={{$date}} id='datepicker'>
The date needs to go between quotes as the rest of the attributes. Otherwise it will stop at the first space break.
Right now, using the date that you specified, the generated code will look like this:
<input type="text" name="date" value=11-04-2015 09:09 id='datepicker'>
You can even see how StackOverflow highlights the "09:09" in a different color. And if you run the code snippet, you'll see that only the date is displayed.
Now, if you wrap the value between quotes, the result will be:
<input type="text" name="date" value="11-04-2015 09:09" id='datepicker'>
And the text field will display both date and time, so the datepicker will also process the time instead of ignoring it.
I have an online form and I want to hide/display specific fields based on the date the user selects in a datepicker field. However, the date they select must fall within a specific date range in order for the additional fields to be shown/hidden.
Right now, this is the only code I have (I am not jQuery writer)
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$("#dpick").datepicker("getDate");
var monthsWithExams;
monthsWithExams = $("#dpick").datepicker("getDate");
if monthsWithExams - THIS IS WHAT I NEED HELP FIGURING OUT
});
#dpick is the id of my datepicker field. Once they select a date, I want the code to check whether the selected date is inside a specific date range - for example, if they pick any day in December, then I want the form field with id tours to be hidden. I think I can write the if...else part, I just don't know how to check if date is inside date range.
I am not a jQuery expert so please try to explain it to me so that I can understand! Thanks for any help! :)
You can set the range by giving the minDate(starting date) and maxDate(Ending date)
//This will only allow 30 days from now range
$(function() {
$("#txtFiled").datepicker({
minDate: 'today',
maxDate: "+30D"
});
});
The datepicker has an "onClose" which can take the chosen date and check it against other dates.
$( "#dpick" ).datepicker({
onClose: function ( selectedDate ) {
var date = selectedDate ;
// if date is between x and y hide element A
}
});
I have 2 date pickers using the Jquery UI. If the user selects a date from date picker 1, how can I get it to update date picker 2 automatically with the same date?
I think this might be quite simple, but I've tried a few things and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance.
The date picker is essentially a text input element. You can use the jquery change handler on the first input element to grab its contents when they change, then simply select the second input element and update the value using jquery val.
http://api.jquery.com/change/
http://api.jquery.com/val/
Something like:
$("#firstdatepicker").change( function() {
$("#seconddatepicker").val($(this).val());
});
You'll want to use the onClose event to update the second text field.
I've created this fiddle here that works; for some reason the styling that's usually on the datepicker is not coming in though.
HTML:
<input type="text" name="date1" value="" />
<br>
<input type="text" name="date2" value="" />
Javascript:
$("input[name=date1]").datepicker({
onClose: function(dateText, inst) {
$("input[name=date2]").val(dateText);
}
});
$("input[name=date2]").datepicker();
