I am using JqueryUI datepicker, and I cannot call 'setDate' method on a datepicker if I use a format like this: 'mm yy'.
See my snippet here:
$(function(){
$('#datepicker').datepicker(
{dateFormat: 'mm yy'}
);
$('#datepicker').datepicker('setDate', new Date(2010, 10, 1));
var d = $("#datepicker" ).datepicker('getDate');
alert(d); //this should alert 2010,10,1, but it is not! it alerts the current time instead
});
http://jsfiddle.net/wintlu/DmmQU/
My observation is that:
if I use format including day part, like 'dd mm yy', then i can use setDate, but if I use format without day part, like 'mm yy', then i cannot use setDate.
My question is :
Is this a bug of datepicker?
If so, what is the walk around ?
Thanks in advance
I am developing android app using jquery mobile. i want to change default date format for input type = "date". how can do this?. one more thing from where the date picker is loading?
anyone help ?
eg:-
it is displaying date in following format by default: "mm/dd/yy". but i need to set this date format dynamically. How can i do this?
set
input_type = TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_DATE
in your android.text field. this allows entering only a date.
you can parse it in your java script by doing this :
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy", Locale.getDefault());
I want to add support for the General Date Time Format to jQuery Globalize as it's the default format for outputting a DateTime as a string in .NET.
How can I extend an existing culture and add a new calendar pattern? The GitHub page documents the addCultureInfo function but I've been able to get this working with such a deep path:
calendars > standard > patterns.
It took me a while to fiddle with it in the console of the browser, but here it is. Note, the addition is not within the calendars > standard > patterns.
Globalize.addCultureInfo("en-US", {
calendar: {
patterns: {
X: 'ddd MMM dd yy'
}
} });
I want to programmatically set date for the input with datebox control, For this i know i can use something like this
$(element).trigger('datebox', {'method':'set', 'value':'dateString'});
but this doesn't seem to update the control(i.e when i open the calendar, it is set to current date and not equal to the value in the input field)
EDIT:
based on JTsage's pointers i overwrote the default dateformat to mm/dd/yyyy, using sth like this.
jQuery.extend(jQuery.mobile.datebox.prototype.options.lang, {
'en': {
dateFormat: '%m/%d/%Y'
}
});
jQuery.extend(jQuery.mobile.datebox.prototype.options, {
useLang: 'en'
});
Then i tried setting the date using sth like this
$(element).trigger('datebox', {'method':'set', value:'07/02/2012'});
but this date is not appearing when i navigate to the page..Interestingly when i tried updating the date from firebug console(being on that page) it updated the field as well as datebox control.
I have no idea why this is happening..Need help, please respond JT
So finally i fixed the issue, by doing this
jQuery.extend(jQuery.mobile.datebox.prototype.options, {
'overrideDateFormat': '%m-%d-%Y',
'overrideHeaderFormat': '%m-%d-%Y'
});
setting the value of the input field explicitly
$(element).val('06-21-2012');
and then refreshing the datebox
$(element).trigger('datebox', {'method':'set', 'value':'06-21-2012'});
I found th solution, try this
$(element).trigger('datebox', { 'method': 'doset' });
How can I change the selected date of jquery Date picker dynamically on the fly?
I have say created a inline date picker.
Then after some time, I want to reflect a different date there without recreating the datepicker from the scratch.
I tried the setDate method, but did not work, and there is not much documentation in the doc.
There is another (extended?) plugin here, but I want to use the plugin which is shipped with jquery.ui.all.js.
What version of jQuery-UI are you using? I've tested the following with 1.6r6, 1.7 and 1.7.1 and it works:
//Set DatePicker to October 3, 2008
$('#dateselector').datepicker("setDate", new Date(2008,9,03) );
Check that the date you are trying to set it to lies within the allowed date range if the minDate or maxDate options are set.
This example shows of how to use default value in the dropdown calendar and value in the text box. It also shows how to set default value to previous date.
selectedDate is another variable that holds current selected date of the calendar control
var date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() - 1);
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
defaultDate: date,
onSelect: function () {
selectedDate = $.datepicker.formatDate("yy-mm-dd", $(this).datepicker('getDate'));
}
});
$("#datepicker").datepicker("setDate", date);
Noted that for DatePicker by Keith Wood (http://keith-wood.name/datepickRef.html) the following works - note that the setting of the default date is last:
$('#datepicker').datepick({
minDate: 0,
maxDate: '+145D',
multiSelect: 7,
renderer: $.datepick.themeRollerRenderer,
***defaultDate: new Date('1 January 2008')***
});
$('.date-pick').datePicker().val(new Date()).trigger('change')
finally, that what i look for the last few hours! I need initiate changes, not just setup date in text field!
For some reason, in some cases I couldn't make the setDate work.
A workaround I found is to simply update the value attribute of the given input.
Of course the datepicker itself won't be updated but if what you just look for is to display the date, it works fine.
var date = new Date(2008,9,3);
$("#your-input").val(date.getMonth()+"/"+date.getDate()+"/"+date.getFullYear());
// Will display 9/3/2008 in your #your-input input
This is a old thread but I just want to give some information how I have used. If you want to set today date you can simply apply it like below.
$("#datepickerid").datepicker("setDate", "0");
If you want to set some days before/after the current date then use the symbol -/+ symbol of how many days you want like below.
$("#datepickerid").datepicker("setDate", "-7");
$("#datepickerid").datepicker("setDate", "+5");
This works for me:
$("#dateselector").datepicker("option", "defaultDate", new Date(2008,9,3));
please Find below one it helps me a lot to set data function
$('#datepicker').datepicker({dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'}).datepicker('setDate', '2010-07-25');
setDate only seems to be an issue with an inline datepicker used in jquery UI, the specific error is InternalError: too much recursion.
In Html you can add your input field with a date picker like this
<input class="form-control date-picker fromDates" id="myDate" type="text">
and then in java script, initialize your datepicker and set your value to the date like this,
$('.fromDates').datepicker({
maxDate: '0',
dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
changeYear: true,
changeMonth: true,
yearRange: "-100:+0"
});
var myDateVal = moment('${value}').format('DD/MM/YYYY');
$('#myDate').datepicker().datepicker('setDate', myDateVal );
(In here fromdate attribute shows the previous dates of the current date)
var dt = new Date();
var renewal = moment(dt).add(1,'year').format('YYYY-MM-DD');
// moment().add(number, period)
// moment().subtract(number, period)
// period : year, days, hours, months, week...
I had a lot of trouble with the setDate method as well. seems to only work in v1. What does seem to work however is using the dpSetSelected method:
$("#dateselector").dpSetSelected(new Date(2010, 0, 26).asString());
good luck!
or you can simply have
$('.date-pick').datePicker().val(new Date()).trigger('change')
