jqueryHow do I use a jQuery datepicker?


To use a jQuery datepicker, you must include the jQuery library and the jQuery UI library. In addition, you must include a CSS file for the datepicker's styling.

To create a datepicker, you must first create an HTML element to attach the datepicker to. This can be a <input> or a <div> element.

Then, you must call the datepicker() function on the element.

For example:

<input type="text" id="datepicker">
<script>
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
</script>

This will create a datepicker element on the page. You can also add options to the datepicker() function to customize the datepicker. For example:

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
    showButtonPanel: true,
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true
});

This will add a button panel, and allow the user to change the month and year.

You can find more information and examples of using jQuery datepicker on the jQuery UI website.
