How to compare texbox with datepicker

Question

I just need to validate a texbox with the year yyyy with a datepicker dd-mm-yyyy. is there any way to do this using javascript? Thanks

Answer 1

This is how I would do it using JQuery:

$(function() {
     $("#your_datepicker").datepicker({
           onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
              var startDate = new Date(dateText);
              var selectedYear = startDate.getFullYear(); // selected year
              var textbox = document.getElementById("txtBox").value  //you might need to cut the string depending on how the user should enter the year in the textbox
              if(textbox === selectedYear{
                 // Do what you need to
              }
           }
     });
});

I hope I understood your question correctly, if not you should give me additional information..
