1 Comment / Javascript, Programming / By

Well, it’s actually quite easy to create a simple calendar or datepicker using jquery. But first you need to download jQuery and jQuery UI libs. This is how you do it,

<html>
    <head>
        <title>JQuery Test</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <link href="datePicker.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-datepicker.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function()
            {
                $('#date-pick').datepicker({
                    showOn: "button",
                    dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
                    disabled: true,
                    buttonImage: "calendar.png",
                    buttonImageOnly: true
                });
            });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        Enter your birthdate :
        <input name="date1" type="text" id="date-pick" size="10" maxlength="10" />
    </body>
</html>

It will look like this,

For the live example, you can see here. Cheers (B)
