将jQuery datepicker分配给div元素并获取值

Question

I want to show a datepicker using jQuery when user click on some text, and after the user select the date on datepicker, I can get the value from the date picker as javascript variable. My code is like this:

<div id="datepicker-container" style="display: none;">
    <div id="select-delivery-date-input"> </div>
</div>
<a id="show-datepicker">Select Delivery Date</a>
<script>
  $("#show-datepicker").click(function(){
      $("#datepicker-container").show();
  });
  $('#select-delivery-date-input').datepicker({ 
      dateFormat:'yy-m-d',
      minDate: new Date(),
  });
</script>

The problem is when the datepicker popup, when I tried to select the date on datepicker popup it won't close the datepicker popup.

You can use datepicker's onSelect option:

Called when the datepicker is selected. The function receives the selected date as text and the datepicker instance as parameters.

Then you can use jQuery hide() .

Here a live sample:

 $(document).ready(function() { $("#show-datepicker").click(function(){ $("#datepicker-container").show(); }); $('#select-delivery-date-input').datepicker({ dateFormat:'yy-m-d', minDate: new Date(), onSelect: function(selectedDate){ console.log(selectedDate); $("#datepicker-container").hide(); } }); }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <link href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <div id="datepicker-container" style="display: none;"> <div id="select-delivery-date-input"> </div> </div> <a id="show-datepicker">Select Delivery Date</a>

Please find below the altered code:

$(document).ready(function() {
var selectedDate;

  $("#show-datepicker").click(function(){ 
      $("#datepicker-container").show();
  });
  $('#select-delivery-date-input').datepicker({ 
      dateFormat:'yy-m-d',
      minDate: new Date(),
      onSelect: function(date){
      selectedDate = date;
      alert(selectedDate);//selected date is assigned to date1, you can use date1 anywhere
      $("#datepicker-container").hide();
    }
     }
   );
});
