setDate not working on Calender widget

[scottParticipant]

Hi guys,

I’ve been looking over these forums and from what I can tell I’m following the right syntax for setDate but every time I create a widget and try to set the date it always defaults to today. Would you mind taking a look at my code and seeing if I’m doing something wrong? I’m creating several calender widgets depending on if the database name is ‘date’ or ‘time’ and then creating a unique name for that widget based on the counter. Thanks much any help you can provide!

	if ( strstr($temp_name1, "date") || strstr($temp_name1, "time") || $temp_name1=="DOB")
	{
		$datesql="SELECT DATE_FORMAT($temp_name1, '%Y, %m, %d, %H, %i, %s, 0') setdate from $source_table where lm_info_id = $lm_info_id";
		$dateresults=mysql_query($datesql);
		$daterow=mysql_fetch_assoc($dateresults);
		$setrow=$daterow['setdate'];

		print '<td style="width: 100px;'.$offset.'">';
		print'<div id=\'content'.$counter.'\' style="height:0px; width:0px; padding-top: 0px;padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;padding-left: 0px; margin-right:0; margin-left: 0; margin-top: 0;" >
				<script type="text/javascript">
					$(document).ready(function () { 
					// Create a jqxDateTimeInput
					$("#jqxWidget'.$counter.'").jqxDateTimeInput({ width: \'300px\', height: \'25px\',  formatString: \'F\' });
						});
					$(\'#jqxWidget'.$counter.'\').jqxDateTimeInput(\'setDate\', new Date ('.$setrow.'));	
				</script>
	
				<div id=\'jqxWidget'.$counter.'\'>
				</div>
			</div>';
	    print '</td>';
	}

Hi scott,

The JavaScript Date object has specific syntax. I do not know what is ‘.$setrow.’, but if it is a String, then it would not work as the Date object’s constructor expects other values. If you look at the widget’s API Documentation about setDate, you will find this sample: http://jsfiddle.net/jqwidgets/3UguZ/, which shows how to use the method. To learn more about JavaScript Date, you may also look at: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_obj_date.asp
