Okay, So I'm new to using frameworks and js libraries and I'm wanting to us bootstrap and bootstrap datepicker for a form and I have no clue if I have the file order correct but the links is how the files are setup, and I know very little about javascript, pretty much all I code in is php but I need this for a form.
Here's my testing form for the bootstrap datepicker:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="_css/datepicker.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="_css/bootstrap.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="_css/bootstrap-responsive.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="datepicker/bootstrap-datepicker.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>BootStrap Datepicker</h1>
<form>
<div class="well span12 main">
<input type="text" id="dp1" class="span2 datepicker" placeholder="Date..."
name="date"> <br>
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="btn">
</form>
</center>
<!-- JAVAscript ----------------------------------------------------------------->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="_js/bootstrap-datepicker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="_js/bootstrap.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
What exactly am I doing wrong?
This question is related to
javascript
twitter-bootstrap
datepicker
Couldn't get bootstrap datepicker to work until I wrap the textbox with position relative element as shown here:
<span style="position: relative">
<input type="text" placeholder="click to show datepicker" id="pickyDate"/>
</span>
man you can use the basic Bootstrap Datepicker this way:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head runat="server">
<title>Test Zone</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Css/datepicker.css" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="../Js/bootstrap-datepicker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#pickyDate').datepicker({
format: "dd/mm/yyyy"
});
});
</script>
and inside body:
<body>
<div id="testDIV">
<div class="container">
<div class="hero-unit">
<input type="text" placeholder="click to show datepicker" id="pickyDate"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
datepicker.css and bootstrap-datepicker.js you can download from here on the Download button below "About" on the left side. Hope this help someone, greetings.
I believe you have to reference bootstrap.js before bootstrap-datepicker.js
Just add this below JS file
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('your input's id or class with # or .').datepicker({
format: "dd/mm/yyyy"
});
});
</script>
