open dhtmlx forum
accept input date for editing

Hi

I have an application that spits out dates like this:

<input type="text" name="is_closed" size="19" maxlength ="19" value='2008-10-04 23:15:24' >

I want to integrate dhtmlxCalendar so that when the user clicks on this input field, a calendar pops up with the date of the input-field preselected (in this case "2008-10-04"). If the user picks a different date, the input field should be updated.

From your example, I find that

cal1 = new dhtmlxCalendarObject('is_closed',true);

should be used, however, this does not show the given date (2008-10-04) but displays the current date initially (2008-10-05).

How should I resolve this?

Creating calendar object from the input enables logic for auto-showing|input filling, but it doesn't set initial value of calendar, you can do it as

cal1 = new dhtmlxCalendarObject('is_closed',true);
cal1.setFormatedDate(document.getElementById("is_closed").value,"%Y-%m-%d");
