Days of month not showing when first load modal bootstrap

Question

On my bootstrap modal. I am able to select days on each month when select a month.

Problem: When I first load up the bootstrap modal the days do not show straight away for that month. I have to select another month the re-select month I am after to get days.

Question: How am I able to get the days of month to display for the selected month that comes up when modal is open rather than me having to go and select another month first then go back.

Answer 1

Force the event change after the event init:

$('select[name="month"]').on("change", function() {
  var year = $('select[name="year"]').val();
  if (year > 0) {
    $('select[name="day"]').find("option").remove();
    var daysInMonth = new Date(year, $(this).val(), 0).getDate();
    for (var i = 1; i <= daysInMonth; i++) {
      console.log(i);
      $('select[name="day"]').append($("<option></option>").attr("value", i).text(i));
    }

  }
});
$('select[name="month"]').trigger('change');
