I need a calendar popup for my project and I just want to show years just like this. (2000 - 2009)
I found this library Bootstrap 3 Datepicker and it seems easy. Then I've configured it to show years. Worked fine.
But I want to show 2000-2009 range in dropdown. That's the problem. I used "viewMode" option to show years. But I couldn't find anywhere to show custom year range. Here is my js code. And here is jsfiddle for live example. Any solution?
$(function () {
$('#datetimepicker10').datetimepicker({
viewMode: 'years',
format: 'L'
});
});
$('#datetimepicker10').datetimepicker({
viewMode: 'years',
defaultDate : '2005-01-01',
format: 'L'
});
set
defaultDate : '2005-01-01'

I'm loading a selection of dates into bootstrap datepicker for the user to view. Currently they can click on a highlighted date but it clears all the dates that are preloaded.
I don't want them to be able to click on any dates, just view the different month pages of dates. How can I do this?
this is how I setup datepicker and load the dates;
$('.datepickera').datepicker({
format: 'yyyy/mm/dd',
multidate: false
});
$.extend($.datepicker,{_checkOffset:function(inst,offset,isFixed){return offset}});
$(".datepickera").data("datepicker").setDates($('#mydates').data('dates'));
If I understand you correctly you can make the datepicker unselectable by using the daysOfWeekDisable property like this:
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
daysOfWeekDisabled: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6]
});
0 is Sunday and 6 is Saturday. This way a user cannot select any day but can view the entire calendar. You can read more about it here. Hope that helps.
I'm trying to use materialize date picker (http://materializecss.com/forms.html). With that, I want to popup the date picker when I click on an icon. I have implemented two implementations where the only difference between the two is putting an alert('clicked') with the code.
without the alert('clicked'): http://jsfiddle.net/1bnnkhbw/
with the alert('clicked'): http://jsfiddle.net/1bnnkhbw/1/
The second one works while the first one doesn't.. (in chrome)!!!
Anybody knows the reason for this behavior?
And a way to make the 1st one work?
I think I found a solution for you man check this out:
<i id="icon">click</i>
<input class="datepicker" style="display:none;" value="click"></input>
$('.datepicker').pickadate({
selectMonths: true,
selectYears: 15
});
$('#icon').click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
$(".datepicker").first().pickadate("picker").open();
console.log("test1");
});

I have to use bootstrap-datepicker.js for my project but it doesn't work well with mask.
problem 1:
It you you are tabbing through fields it will auto populate the date field with today's date. Ideally it won't populate it at all.
Problem 2:
It's difficult to blank-out a the date field once it's populated.
first name: <input type="text">
birthdate: <input type="text" class="date">
city: <input type="text">
js:
$(function() {
$(".date").mask("99/99/9999");
$('.date').datepicker({
format: 'mm/dd/yyyy'
});
});
The problem is all originates from the fact that mask is populating the field with example format characters( "_ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _" ) during focus and when the focus leaves datepicker is attempting to parse the example characters BEFORE mask has a chance to remove them. datepicker can't parse these special characters into a date therefore it is selecting today's date.
I think that if I can figure out a way to remove the example characters before bootstrap-datepicker attempts to parse them my problem would be fixed.
I would provide a jsfiddler example but I can't figure out how to add bootstrap-datepicker.js and jquery.maskedinput.js on their site.
Thanks for your help.
I stumbles across this option:
$('.date').datepicker({
format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
forceParse: false
});
Surprising that force parse is true by default. darn bootstrap. Problem fixed.
Late answer but this was the only one that worked for me after deconstructing the sequence of events handled by both plugins (as of this date).
var $date = $('.date');
$date.datepicker({
format: 'mm/dd/yyyy'
});
$date.mask("99/99/9999");
$date.on('keyup', function(){
if ($date.val() == '__/__/____'){
// this only happens when a key is released and no valid value is in the field. Eg. when tabbing into the field, we'll make sure the datepicker plugin does not get '__/__/____' as a date value
$date.val('');
}
});
Long Explanation
Turns out that the datepicker plugin calls an update function on keyup, which in this case is the keyup event triggered when you release the TAB key. This update function calls a DPGlobal.parseDate() function that roughly behaves like this:
DPGlobal.parseDate(''); // returns new Date(); aka. now
DPGlobal.parseDate('10/10/1983'); // returns a Date instance that points to 10/10/1983
DPGlobal.parseDate('__/__/____'); // is generated by the maskedinput plugin and is interpreted as an ilegal date, so the datepicker goes back to the origin of unix time, 1970
This could easily be fixed by changing the parseDate function on the datepicker lib but this is a big no no if you want to keep your code maintainable. We are left then with a hackish way to intercept the foul value and correct it before maskedinput hands it over to the datepicker.
Hope it helps!
Try use other class name to datepicker and mix in your html
$(function() {
$(".date").mask("99/99/9999");
$('.date2').datepicker({
format: 'mm/dd/yyyy'
});
});
birthdate: <input type="text" class="date date2">
this is how i'm trying
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#dateIn,#dateOut').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
but the input stills 'launching' iphone's keyboard
ps: i want to do this because i'm using datepicker plugin for date
By adding the attribute readonly (or readonly="readonly") to the input field you should prevent anyone typing anything in it, but still be able to launch a click event on it.
This is also usefull in non-mobile devices as you use a date/time picker
inputmode attribute
<input inputmode='none'>
The inputmode global attribute is an enumerated attribute that hints at the type of data that might be entered by the user while editing the element or its contents. It can have the following values:
none -
No virtual keyboard. For when the page implements its own keyboard input control.
I am using this successfully (Tested on Chrome/Android)
CSS-Tricks: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About inputmode
You can add a callback function to your DatePicker to tell it to blur the input field before showing the DatePicker.
$('.selector').datepicker({
beforeShow: function(){$('input').blur();}
});
Note: The iOS keyboard will appear for a fraction of a second and then hide.
Below code works for me:
<input id="myDatePicker" class="readonlyjm"/>
$('#myDatePicker').datepicker({
/* options */
});
$('.readonlyjm').on('focus',function(){
$(this).trigger('blur');
});
I asked a similar question here and got a fantastic answer - use the iPhone native datepicker - it's great.
How to turn off iPhone keypad for a specified input field on web page
Synopsis / pseudo-code:
if small screen mobile device
set field type to "date" - e.g. document.getElementById('my_field').type = "date";
// input fields of type "date" invoke the iPhone datepicker.
else
init datepicker - e.g. $("#my_field").datepicker();
The reason for dynamically setting the field type to "date" is that Opera will pop up its own native datepicker otherwise, and I'm assuming you want to show the datepicker consistently on desktop browsers.
Since I can't comment on the top comment, I'm forced to submit an "answer."
The problem with the selected answer is that setting the field to readonly takes the field out of the tab order on the iPhone. So if you like entering forms by hitting "next", you'll skip right over the field.
Best way to solve this as per my opinion is Using "ignoreReadonly".
First make the input field readonly then add ignoreReadonly:true.
This will make sure that even if the text field is readonly , popup will show.
$('#txtStartDate').datetimepicker({
locale: "da",
format: "DD/MM/YYYY",
ignoreReadonly: true
});
$('#txtEndDate').datetimepicker({
locale: "da",
useCurrent: false,
format: "DD/MM/YYYY",
ignoreReadonly: true
});
});
So here is my solution (similar to John Vance's answer):
First go here and get a function to detect mobile browsers.
http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/
They have a lot of different ways to detect if you are on mobile, so find one that works with what you are using.
Your HTML page (pseudo code):
If Mobile Then
<input id="selling-date" type="date" placeholder="YYYY-MM-DD" max="2999-12-31" min="2010-01-01" value="2015-01-01" />
else
<input id="selling-date" type="text" class="date-picker" readonly="readonly" placeholder="YYYY-MM-DD" max="2999-12-31" min="2010-01-01" value="2015-01-01" />
JQuery:
$( ".date-picker" ).each(function() {
var min = $( this ).attr("min");
var max = $( this ).attr("max");
$( this ).datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
minDate: min,
maxDate: max
});
});
This way you can still use native date selectors in mobile while still setting the min and max dates either way.
The field for non mobile should be read only because if a mobile browser like chrome for ios "requests desktop version" then they can get around the mobile check and you still want to prevent the keyboard from showing up.
However if the field is read only it could look to a user like they cant change the field. You could fix this by changing the CSS to make it look like it isn't read only (ie change border-color to black) but unless you are changing the CSS for all input tags you will find it hard to keep the look consistent across browsers.
To get arround that I just add a calendar image button to the date picker. Just change your JQuery code a bit:
$( ".date-picker" ).each(function() {
var min = $( this ).attr("min");
var max = $( this ).attr("max");
$( this ).datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
minDate: min,
maxDate: max,
showOn: "both",
buttonImage: "images/calendar.gif",
buttonImageOnly: true,
buttonText: "Select date"
});
});
Note: you will have to find a suitable image.
I have a little generic "no keyboard" script - works for me with Android and iPhone:
$('.readonlyJim').on('focus', function () {
$(this).trigger('blur')
})
Simply attach add class readonlyJim to the input tag and voila.
