I want to take two date string with textbox or editor in mvc.
The format should be
"MM/yyyy-MM/yyyy".
I need to force the user for entering the input like above format without posting model.
#Html.TextBox("tbxDateRange", "", "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", new { #class = "form-control dropdown", placeholder = "MM/yyyy - MM/yyyy" })
Above code not working event get just a formatted date string.
The format is working as expected. You are telling tbxDateRange's value (the zero in the third parameter ("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}") to format as day/month/year. It will therefore take the input in the text box and display it in that format.
It is only a display format. It will not enforce this format. For that you will need to do your own client side javascript (since you mentioned without posting the model). You could look at using a masked input element. ASP.NET MVC does not have a masked input out of the box.
You could use a masked input control like maskedinput which is a plugin for jQuery.
Additionally, you might want to look at breaking this up into two controls. One for the start and one for the end. You could consider using the html5 input type of date and you will automatically get a calendar. Although, if the day of the month will be too confusing for your users/UI then you could look at using jquery UI's datepicker and you can configure it to show only month and year.
Once you include jQuery UI in your app you would do something like jQuery UI DatePicker to show month year only.
In that example the winning answer formats the control in such a way to only show the month and year items of the control.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('.date-picker').datepicker( {
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
showButtonPanel: true,
dateFormat: 'MM yy',
onClose: function(dateText, inst) {
$(this).datepicker('setDate', new Date(inst.selectedYear, inst.selectedMonth, 1));
}
});
});
</script>
<style>
.ui-datepicker-calendar {
display: none;
}
</style>
I am using jquery date picker with cakephp 2.3. Datepicker popup is OK.
When I want to edit a any record, it does not display date field value in form. I checked many ways and I am sure that it is date picker issue.
Populated source code of date field
<input id="CallDateTo" class="hasDatepicker" type="text" value="2013-04-15" name="data[Call][date_to]">
Here we see that value exist in HTML but it does not display in form.
Any one can help me?
Yes, I found the solution. I have to write as bellow
$( "#CallDateFrom, #CallDateTo" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"});
Before that I wrote as bellow and caused the problems.
$( "#CallDateFrom, #CallDateTo" ).datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true});
$( "#CallDateFrom, #CallDateTo" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'yy-mm-dd' );
Set the date using correct format
$('#CallDateTo').datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"
});
Demo: Plunker
My datepicker is showing the default format mm/dd/yy even after changing the format to yy-mm-dd
This is my script.js
$(function(){
$( "#date" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", "yy-mm-dd");
$( "#date" ).datepicker();
})
Please help.
Try this one:
$( "#date" ).datepicker({dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
You are calling the datepicker twice. The second time without any options, so it is called with its default options and seems to override the first one
Here's a fiddle working: http://jsfiddle.net/qG4PC/
When I load my page the datepicker on my div always show in english, I have to click it to show in other language, as you can see in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bFHxf/
If you change from div to input there is no problem with it since you have to click it to show... is this some kind of feature or bug?
Any workaround?
I wrapped your code in the $(document).ready() function and that seems to take care of the problem.

Hope that helps!
I think that you are initializing the datepicker too early.
If you wait until the document is loaded, it should work. You can do this by surrounding the existing JavaScript code with
$(function() { existing code goes here });
So the result might look like:
$(function(){
$.datepicker.setDefaults( $.datepicker.regional[ "nl" ] );
$('#date').datepicker({
numberOfMonths: 2,
showButtonPanel: true,
dateFormat : 'dd/mm/yy'
});
})

I'm working on some internationalization using jQueryUI. I have a DatePicker control on a form that is properly working in the French language.
When I select a date, for example August 15, 2012, the DatePicker will display 15 Aoû, 2012 as I would expect. My issue however, is that when the form is posted, the value of the DatePicker is posted as '15 Aoû, 2012' which now needs to be translated on the server before it can be saved properly.
My question is, is there a built-in way inside the jQueryUI DatePicker so that I can have it always post to the server in a consistent format, regardless of which language the control is being displayed in? If there isn't a built-in way, what options exist for achieving this?
I realize that I can change the dateformat to something like 08/15/2012 instead of using the textual representation, however this isn't what I want to do.
There's 2 configuration options for that: altField and altFormat. http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-altField
If you specify an altField, that field will be updated too, and will have the altFormat.
Normally you will want make the altField a hidden field, soyou can ignore the regular field and send to db the altField.
As you'll have noticed, supplying a dateFormat works well for newly entered dates, but it does not alter the value attribute which was already supplied to the date input field. It took me some time and I'm not sure whether this solution is ideal, but here's my situation explained and the code which solves it. Might help others with the same problem in the future. In my example I'm using dd/MM/yyyy as the display format.
The page contains any number of date input fields, which may or may not already have a value attribute supplied in the format yyyy-MM-dd, as specified by W3C.
Some browsers will have their own input control to handle dates. At the time of writing, that is for instance Opera and Chrome. These should expect and store a date in the abovementioned format, while rendering them according to the client's regional settings. You probably do not want/need to create a jqueryui datepicker in these browsers.
Browsers which don't have a built-in control to handle date input fields will need the jqueryui datepicker along with an 'alt', invisible field.
The invisible, alt input field with the yyyy-MM-dd format must have the original name and a unique id in order for forms logic to keep working.
Finally, the yyyy-MM-dd value of the display input field must be parsed and replaced with its desired counterpart.
So, here's the code, using Modernizr to detect whether or not the client is able to natively render date input fields.
if (!Modernizr.inputtypes.date) {
$('input[type=date]').each(function (index, element) {
/* Create a hidden clone, which will contain the actual value */
var clone = $(this).clone();
clone.insertAfter(this);
clone.hide();
/* Rename the original field, used to contain the display value */
$(this).attr('id', $(this).attr('id') + '-display');
$(this).attr('name', $(this).attr('name') + '-display');
/* Create the datepicker with the desired display format and alt field */
$(this).datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy", altField: "#" + clone.attr("id"), altFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });
/* Finally, parse the value and change it to the display format */
if ($(this).attr('value')) {
var date = $.datepicker.parseDate("yy-mm-dd", $(this).attr('value'));
$(this).attr('value', $.datepicker.formatDate("dd/mm/yy", date));
}
});
}
<input type="text" name='fieldName' id="datepicker" value="" style="width: 100px;" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'dd/mm/yy' );
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
</script>
It appears someone else had this question or a similar one prior to yours.
If you read this stackoverflow answer, the author was trying to show the date in one format and pass the data to MySQL in another format.
The prior answer in that link gets you set up to access the selected value as a variable. Now all you need is to wire in a parseDate to your selected date variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#cal').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd M yy',
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
var dateAsString = dateText; //the first parameter of this function
var newDateFormat = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd-mm-yyyy', dateAsString);
}
});
</script>
Check the parseDate link for settings and formatting.
Hope this helps!
Basically, you should not re-format the date. Instead, you should read JavaScript's Date object from Datepicker, via getDate() method. Then, you need to pass it to server.
The question is how. Basically, what you want is some common format. If you use JSON the answer is very simple, just put date object and JSON's stringify() function will automatically format it to ISO8601.
As you may see from Wikipedia, ISO8601 was designed to interchange date and time reliably, therefore that's what you should use.
It might be helpful to know that modern web browsers support Date object's toISOString() method.
As #Pawel-Dyda mentioned,
There's a
getDate() method
var currentDate = $( ".selector" ).datepicker( "getDate" );
Here's an example of what it returns: Wed Jan 20 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0300.
You can parse it in Javascript, PHP, in SQL or whatever.
MySQL parsing examlple:
select str_to_date('Wed Jan 20 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0300','%a %b %d %Y %H:%i:%s');
Returns:
2016-01-20 00:00:00
