Hi I am trying to display in a DatePIcker UI component a date that I previously saved in local storage.
What I was doing was storing it as UTC milliseconds and creating a date object as:
var in_date=new Date(stored_UTC);
then using date methods to get to a string like dd/mm/yyyy and trying to input that string into the datepicker.
Is there a better way, i.e. can I just pass date object directly to datepicker?
Hello Mac,
Please use the following code:
$("[name=finish_datepicker] input").val("dd/mm/yyyy");
use here number values instead of "dd/mm/yyyy"
Hi Serge,
I might not have explained myself properly. I wanted to pass a Date object directly to the datepicker as in:
mydate= new Date();
And pass mydate directly - doesn't look like I can do that using .val(mydate). I read on the JQuery website that the setDate(date) method is available for a datepicker object. How can I use this method, as setDate will accept a date object so I can just pass mydate directly without having to convert to a string of the format "dd/mm/yyyy" before using .val().
Does that make sense?
Mac,
You can't use simple Date object for settings datepicker value: http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#m...
You should convert Date's value to the string. Please look this topic: https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...
