Problem in setting value to Date Picker Input

[rskbuvanSpectator]

Hi,

I’ve a scenario where I get the date from database in the following format, i.e. 08.07.2013 (dd.mm.yyyy) and I’ve to set it to one of date picker field.

First, I place this value in one hidden field and then I map the same using the following properties provide by jqxWidget.

Because I’m using jsp and I couldn’t able to map the value directly so I’m doing it in this way. I can able to get the value from hidden field but no improvements. Hence I tried hot coding the value but still nothing,

Mentioned below is the code snippet for your reference,

<div class="datePicker" id="startDate" name="" value=""></div>
$("#startDate").jqxDateTimeInput({width: '100px', height: '25px', theme: theme, formatString:"dd.MM.yyyy"});
$("#startDate").jqxDateTimeInput('val', "10.02.2013");

But data picker field is populated only with the today’s date not the new value.

jqxdatetimeinput.js, jqxcalendar.js – File Version: v2.8.0
jqxcore – File Version: v2.8.1

Can anyone please suggest me what could be the problem?

Thanks & Cheers,

Hi rskbuvan,

In order to set the new wanted date you should use the following thing:

$("#jqxWidget").jqxDateTimeInput('val', new Date(2013, 1, 10));

I hope it would work for you.

Best Wishes,
Mariya
