根据下拉值设置2个日期选择器的最小日期和最大日期

Question

I have 2 datepickers and a dropdown and I want to set the min and max dates of the second datepicker based on the dropdown selection as shown below.

  <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlleavetype" class="textbox" onchange="ShowHideDiv()" runat="server">
   <asp:ListItem Value="">--Select--</asp:ListItem>
   <asp:ListItem Value="Casual leave">Casual leave</asp:ListItem>
   <asp:ListItem Value="Sick leave">Sick leave</asp:ListItem>
   <asp:ListItem Value="Annual leave">Annual leave</asp:ListItem>
   <asp:ListItem Value="Paternity leave">Paternity leave</asp:ListItem>
   <asp:ListItem Value="Maternity leave">Maternity leave</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="Bereavement leave">Bereavement leave</asp:ListItem>
    </asp:DropDownList>

So If I select Casual leave from the above dropdown the max date of datepicker2 should be the next day of datepicker1 and if it is a different selection from dropdown then the max date of datepicker2 can be n number of days. Below would be the code for the datepickers.

  $('.datepicker1').datepicker({
                beforeShowDay: highlightDays,
                minDate: 1,
                dateFormat: "yy/mm/dd",
                changeMonth: true,
                changeYear: true,
                maxDate: 2020,
                onSelect: function (dateStr) {
                    var min = $(this).datepicker('getDate') || new Date();
                    var max = $(this).datepicker('getDate') || new Date();
                    max.setDate(max.getDate() + 1);
                    min.setDate(min.getDate() + 1);
                    $('.datepicker4').datepicker('option', { minDate: min, maxDate: max });
                }

            });
            $('.datepicker2').datepicker({
                beforeShowDay: highlightDays,
                //minDate: 2,
                dateFormat: "yy/mm/dd",
                changeMonth: true,
                changeYear: true,
                onSelect: function (dateStr) {
                    var max = $(this).datepicker('getDate'); 
                    $('.datepicker1').datepicker('option', { maxDate: max });
                }
                Date().getFullYear().toString()

            });

You have to get value in your drop down option via jquery.

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(function () {

        $(".datepicker1").datepicker({
            dateFormat: "yy/mm/dd",
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            //your options here
            onSelect: function (dateStr) {

                var min = $(this).datepicker('getDate') || new Date();
                var max = $(this).datepicker('getDate') || new Date();
                max.setDate(max.getDate() + 1);
                min.setDate(min.getDate() + 1);

                var selectedValue = $('#<%=ddlleavetype.ClientID%>').val();

                if (selectedValue == 'Casual leave') {
                    $(".datepicker2").datepicker('option', { minDate: min, maxDate: max });
                }
                else {
                    $(".datepicker2").datepicker('option', { minDate: null, maxDate: null });
                }
            }
        });

        $(".datepicker2").datepicker({
            dateFormat: "yy/mm/dd",
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            //your options here
        });

        $('#<%=ddlleavetype.ClientID%>').change(function () {

            if (this.value) {

                var min = $(".datepicker1").datepicker('getDate') || new Date();
                var max = $(".datepicker1").datepicker('getDate') || new Date();
                max.setDate(max.getDate() + 1);
                min.setDate(min.getDate() + 1);

                var selectedValue = this.value;

                if (selectedValue == 'Casual leave') {
                    $(".datepicker2").datepicker('option', { minDate: min, maxDate: max });
                }
                else {
                    $(".datepicker2").datepicker('option', { minDate: null, maxDate: null });
                }
            }
        });
    });
</script>
