JHTML Calendar Replacement - Zebra DatePicker Help?

[shaoen01]

Hi All,

In one of the threads i posted, i had some issues with JHTML calendar's limitations and i was recommended to use Zebra Datepicker along with other great alternatives (thanks guys!). For those using Zebra DatePicker, i was wondering if there is a way to get the date selected displayed into the textbox before a user selects it?

This is to cater to a scenario where we reload the information that user has saved in the database and retrieved to edit. So i would need the date to be selected already and the date displayed in the textbox itself. If anyone has done this, can you share? Thanks!

If I'm understanding you correctly, just populate the textfield with the value you want like you would any other input.  

<input type="text" name="mydatefield" id="mydatefield" value="2012-11-03" />

Or use JS if you need to populate it dynamically:

$('#mydatefield').val("2012-11-03"); //using jquery

Thanks!

Alan
