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' });

I have inherited some code that appears to use jqueryui 1.10.3 to incorporate a datepicker.
When I click the textbox to bring the datepicker up and choose a date, the format looks like
21.03.2020
However, if I click on the textbox again the format is
21/03/2020
The slash is the desired functionality. When the initial date is selected I want it to display as dd/mm/yyyy. How can I stop the date parts being separated by .
I have tried examining the jquery-ui-1.10.3 file to see if I can work out where the . separator is being applied but I haven't been able to come up with anything.
Somewhere in your web page or script section you should have code that looks like the code below.
This is where you can set your date time picker format. Look at the format date section.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#<%= TextBoxName.ClientID %>").datetimepicker({
dayOfWeekStart: 1,
lang: 'en',
startDate: '<%= TextBoxName.Text %>',
step: 30,
formatTime: 'H:i',
formatDate: 'Y.m.d'
});
});

I have a set of dynamically generated dropdown boxes on my page. basically I clone them using jQuery. now I want to capture the value selected on each dropdown on change event.
I tried something like this which did not work.
$('._someDropDown').live('change', function(e) {
//debugger;
var v = $(this);
alert($(this + ':selected').val());
alert($(this).val());
});
How do I get it done?
To get the text of the selected option
$("#your_select :selected").text();
To get the value of the selected option
$("#your_select").val();
This is what you need :)
$('._someDropDown').live('change', function(e) {
console.log(e.target.options[e.target.selectedIndex].text);
});
For new jQuery use on
$(document).on('change', '._someDropDown', function(e) {
console.log(this.options[e.target.selectedIndex].text);
});
$("#citiesList").change(function() {
alert($("#citiesList option:selected").text());
alert($("#citiesList option:selected").val());
});
citiesList is id of select tag

For getting text
$("#selme").change(function(){
$(this[this.selectedIndex]).text();
});
For getting value
$("#selme").change(function(){
$(this[this.selectedIndex]).val();
});
You can try:
$("._someDropDown").val();
To get the value of a drop-down (select) element, just use val().
$('._someDropDown').live('change', function(e) {
alert($(this).val());
});
If you want to the text of the selected option, using this:
$('._someDropDown').live('change', function(e) {
alert($('[value=' + $(this).val() + ']', this).text());
});
try this...
$("#yourdropdownid option:selected").val();
This is actually more efficient and has better readability in my opinion if you want to access your select with this or another variable
$('#select').find('option:selected')
In fact if I remember correctly phpStorm will attempt to auto correct the other method.
In case you want the index of the current selected value.
$selIndex = $("select#myselectid").prop('selectedIndex'));
The options discussed above won't work because they are not part of the CSS specification (it is jQuery extension). Having spent 2-3 days digging around for information, I found that the only way to select the Text of the selected option from the drop down is:
{ $("select", id:"Some_ID").find("option[selected='selected']")}
Refer to additional notes below:
Because :selected is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using :selected cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM querySelectorAll() method. To achieve the best performance when using :selected to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use .filter(":selected"). (copied from: http://api.jquery.com/selected-selector/)
You can also use :checked
$("#myselect option:checked").val(); //to get value
or as said in other answers simply
$("#myselect").val(); //to get value
and
$("#myselect option:checked").text(); //to get text
Our project using JSF1.2, Icefaces 1.8.2, jQuery UI component datepicker (veresion 1.8.14). Problem with IE7 (Firefox is fine). Problem will happen with following sequence: Select a date (for example, couple days befor doday). Note we have set year range from 1991 to 2012. Our business logic is print a document use that date (in code, called dateOfStudy) as title, once done, in the JSF back bean, I clear the calendar inputext date field to null. Now click datepicker icon again, the year corrtly shows 2011, select any previous month (for example go back to Auguest, 2011), problme happend right here: the year will change to 1991, can not keep at 2011.
The problem will not happen if I do not touch that date field (don't do clear, keep the old date). The problem will still appear even I just change the date font to other color via CSS (seems whenever I touch that field, datepicker will messed up). The problem will not happen if you click today once, or close datepicker, open again.
Seems the datepick need some initializtion after I cleared date?
I attached some code. I have trid method/option like setDate, onChangeMonthYear, beforShowDay, can not solve. Any help is appreciated !!
<script type="text/javascript">
var jq = jQuery.noConflict();
jq(document).ready(function() {
jq("[id$=fmv]").live('click', function() {
jq(this).datepicker( {
showOn : 'focus',
changeMonth : true,
changeYear : true,
dateFormat : 'mm/dd/yy',
yearRange : '-20:+1',
showButtonPanel : true,
closeText : 'Close'
}).focus();
});
});
</script>
<ice:inputText id="fmv"
style="background-image:url ('../../../jquery/images/calendar1.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:right;"
value="#{pItem.dateOfStudy}"
validator="#{pItem.validate}"
partialSubmit="true"
name="fmv"
valueChangeListener="#{pItem.dateChangeListener}">
</ice:inputText>
When backbean clear or change input text in calendar inputText, I think that causes a focus event, and calendar confused under IE7. The reason I am using showOn focus is the code is in a table AJAX display area, so use calendar show on image button not work since the button image will not show when AJAX update comes back (the jQuery calendar will not get called), which force me to use showOn focus. I finally solved this year change problem by adding the following refresh calendar line after the final .focus():
jq(this).datepicker("setDate",jq("[id$=fmv]").datepicker("getDate"));
things working fine now. I am not sure how to make this call only when backbean clean the calendar date, but performance seems ok.
I need to add custom validation(I think) for validating input from an user. Here's my use case:
I'm using the jquery ui datepicker for selecting dates, with localization like this:
$.datepicker.setDefaults( $.datepicker.regional[ currentLocale ] );
I use the bassistance validation plugin, and using rules for date:true and such does not work with different formats(or if they do please tell me how!). So I've made my own date validation methods like this
$.validator.addMethod("validDate", function(value) {
return parseDateString(value) != null;
}, jQuery.validator.messages.date);
This all works very well except for the fact when selecting a date in the datepicker the validation is fired before the value of the componet is changed! So I actually validate the previous value....
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Thanks in advance:)
You could trigger validation upon the user closing the datepicker popup:
$("#birthdate").datepicker({
onClose: function() {
/* Validate a specific element: */
$("form").validate().element("#birthdate");
}
});
Using validate's element() function will enable you to validate a particular field immediately.
I've created an example here in which any date who's year != 2011 will trigger failed validation.
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')
