Datetimepicker: Customizing css

For picking a date and time I use a datetimepicker (bootstrap-datetime-picker).
The widget allows showing date and time "side-by-side".
It all works great and picking is no problem.
But, the time part of the widget uses arrows to increment/decrement hours and minutes. These arrow buttons are hidden and only show when you hover over the area the arrow button is.
I tried to search the CSS for the "hover" setting, so I can change the behavior of it. I want it to show all the time, not only if hovered over.
Any ideas where and how to change these settings?

you can try:
.timepicker .glyphicon-chevron-up{ background-color: #eee; }

If you mean that DateTimePicker,
inspect the code of page, in console type
var picker = $('.bootstrap-datetimepicker-widget');
$(picker).appendTo('body')
Explore the code of datetime picker element at the bottom of the page

free-jqgrid with bootstrap and datepicker issue

I am using demo sample located https://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/90qmjean/3/
Some reason datepicker is not rendering? also i need to set dateformat to
ISO8601Long:"Y-m-d H:i:s"
But with original date formatter shows selected date as 'Y-3-14 H:i:s'
see the screenshot for details:enter image description here

The problem, which you described in comments above, is the following: you are wonder why the Bootstrap datetimepicker, used in the demo http://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/duooa5oy/1/, don't close the calendar window after choosing the date.
First of all, I want to stress, that it's the default behavior of the Bootstrap datetime picker. You can try any demo on the page http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/ to verify that. The reason of the behavior is easy to understand. The datetimepicker allows to change the time and not only the date. The corresponding control contains 4 buttons, which increase/decrease the time via click on the buttons. I marked the buttons on the picture below:
Thus, what you probably want is closing of the datetimepicker if the date (and not the time) is changed. One can implement the requirements by adding the following lines in the demo:
$(el).bind("dp.change", function (e) {
if (e.date.dayOfYear() !== e.oldDate.dayOfYear()) {
$(this).data("DateTimePicker").hide();
}
});
See the modified date http://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/duooa5oy/7/

It looks like when i updated boostrap-datepicker to latest version, it worked.

Update bootstrap datetime widget to set date

I'm using the Bootstrap datetimepicker in one of our projects. It is a MVC application and it hides the date input by default and shows the bootstrap datetime picker.
The problem we have now is that we're not able to set the date that's set in the date field in the widget. It always loads today.
eg:
I load the form in the browser
I choose a date in the datetime picker
I submit the form with a error
The page is reloaded and the datepicker is set to today, the input value is the correct day and if I navigate to the date in the datepicker is shows up as selected.
I've read through the documentation and tried to use the update function and the setdate function but they didn't do a thing and also didn't return a error.
What I expect it to do is show the selected date if the input is filled.
Now I'm stuck.
edit:
I use a input type="text" on the page with a classname datePickerInline.
On that class there's a css style that hides the input and the following script is present:
/* Document Ready Inits */
$(function () {
initDatePickers();
});
/* Bindings */
function initDatePickers() {
$('.datePickerInline').datetimepicker({
inline: true,
keepOpen: true,
debug: true,
locale: 'nl'
});
}
The input can be prefilled with a date. That works like a charm. If I for example get $('.datePickerInline').val() and try to add setDate in the datetimepicker method it doesn't work. I cant get .update() to work. It errors out all the time.
The stupid thing is that the date is set correctly but the widget wont "scroll" to the correct page...

Zebra DatePicker Positioning Issue

I am developing an app in asp.net in which I am using the Jquery Zebra DatePicker but the issue is this, I am opening the form in Jquery dailog and calendar will open on the dialog but datepicker is opening at the bottom of the page, same problem is reported here but I am unable to understand how to modify the function. Kindly tell me solution or purpose me some other plugin which is same as ajax calender extender. Thanks in advance.

I recently have the same problem. But a little delay (timeout) solves the issue for me:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
window.setTimeout(function(){
$('input.datepicker').Zebra_DatePicker();
}, 100);
});

Sorry for the delayed reply... Anyways I will like to improve this answer.
I had the same problem but in my case it occurred due to the icon's position in the date textbox.
If you just want to update the icon’s position, simply call the update method without any arguments:
var datepicker = $('element').data('Zebra_DatePicker');
datepicker.update();

Add the following in your css class for it is (Zebra_DatePicker):
.Zebra_DatePicker{
position: absolute;
}

We can control the Zipra Datepicker positions by changing the default_position and container attributes
Zipra Datepicker has default_position attribute, We can use this default_position attribute to display the calendar above or below of the input box.
Default position -> above / below
Zipra Datepicker default position is above, it means calendar will display right top of the input box.
The second option is the container, the calendar will display relative to the container element.
container: $('body'),
By default, the container will be the body which means the date picker will append related to the body, You can see the date picker HTML code at the top of the DOM
You can change the container position relative to the parent of your input box by adding the class name of parent div in the container section.
$('#datepicker-on-change').Zebra_DatePicker({
default_position: 'below',
container : $('.datepicker-position')
});
<div class="datepicker-position">
<input id="datepicker-on-change" type="text" class="form-control" data-zdp_readonly_element="false">
</div>

jquery ui dateinput alternative field

I am using jquery ui dateinput and i am showing the calendar when the user clicks a small image. In the calendar i have set the selectors to true, so it also shows months and years. What i want, is to pass the chosen date into a textbox as a value.
I did this so far.
$("img[id='CalIcon']").data("dateinput").onHide(function(e){
var dt = $("img[id='CalIcon']").data("dateinput").getValue('dd-mm-yyyy');
$('#relativeDOB').attr({value:dt});
});
The problem is that whatever year or month i am choosing is passing only the current. The day works fine.
Any ideas?
thanks
