How to set minDate to current date in jQuery UI Datepicker?

Question

This is my code and it is not working properly. I want to set minDate to the current date. How can i do this?

 $("input.DateFrom").datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', maxDate: 'today', onSelect: function(dateText) { $sD = new Date(dateText); $("input#DateTo").datepicker('option', 'minDate', min); } 

Answer 1

You can specify minDate as it is today by adding minDate: 0 to the parameters.

 $("input.DateFrom").datepicker({ minDate: 0, ... });

Answer 2

You can use the minDate property, for example:

 $("input.DateFrom").datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', minDate: 0, // 0 days offset = today maxDate: 'today', onSelect: function(dateText) { $sD = new Date(dateText); $("input#DateTo").datepicker('option', 'minDate', min); } }); 

You can also specify a date, for example:

 minDate: new Date(), // = today 

Answer 3

Use this:

  onSelect: function(dateText) { $("input#DateTo").datepicker('option', 'minDate', dateText); }

Answer 4

the minDate property for the current date works for both -> minDate: "yy-mm-dd" or minDate: 0

Answer 5

can also be used:

 $("input.DateFrom").datepicker({ minDate: 'today' }); 

Answer 6

I set the start date using this method because the above or other codes did not work for me

 $(document).ready(function() { $('#dateFrm').datepicker('setStartDate', new Date(yyyy, dd, MM)); }); 

Answer 7

 $("input.DateFrom").datepicker({ minDate: new Date() });
