The jQuery Datepicker maxDate doesn't seem to work

Question

I have a problem with jQuery and my datepicker.

I've got this:

$(function() {
   $("#datepicker").datepicker({
      minDate: '02/16/2012',
      maxDate: '04/15/2017',
      buttonImage:"calendar.gif"
    });
});

When I go on my datepicker, the minDate work, the maxDate is set (I check it on console) but the maxDate is not respected, I can choose a day after my maxDate .

EDIT : sorry for your time, it was just the data which were wrong, it was in the dd/mm/yy format so it's normal that it doesn't work, with good data it work as describe in jquery API documentation

Answer 1

Change your code to look like the example in my fiddle and everything should work for you.

SEE FIDDLE

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
        minDate: "02/16/2012",
        maxDate: "04/15/2017",
        buttonImage:"ui-icon-calendar"
});

<input type="text" id="datepicker" />

The min and max date properties take strings or variables, so wrap the dates in quotes, then remove the semi colon from the last property.

Also take a look at the API documentation .
