Quick Start

In this quick start, you'll learn how to add the InputDate widget to an HTML project using HTML markup and jQuery script. We also add some initial text and formatted dates to a drop-down list using the placeHolder, dateFormat, pickers, and showTrigger options.

To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension.
Drop down and copy markup
Paste in your favorite text editor.
Copy Code

<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML> <head> </head> <body> </body> </HTML>

Paste in your favorite text editor.	Copy Code
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML> <head> </head> <body> </body> </HTML>

Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn.

Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <input> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it.
Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the body tags

Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget, set the date format, and set the items to show in the drop-down list.

Script	Copy Code
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $("#textbox1").wijinputdate( { placeHolder:'Click for Dates', dateFormat: 'yyyy/M/d', pickers: { list: [ {label: '1980/4/8', value: new Date(1980, 3, 8)}, {label: '2007/12/25', value: new Date(2007, 11, 25)}, {label: 'today', value: new Date()} ] }, showTrigger: true }); }); </script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#textbox1").wijinputdate(
        {
            placeHolder:'Click for Dates',
            dateFormat: 'yyyy/M/d',
            pickers: {
                list: [
                    {label: '1980/4/8', value: new Date(1980, 3, 8)},
                    {label: '2007/12/25', value: new Date(2007, 11, 25)},
                    {label: 'today', value: new Date()}
                ]
            },
            showTrigger: true
        });
    });
</script>

Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget. Click the trigger to show the comboItems in the drop-down list.
