Where this date picker is included from?

[Padmahas Bn]

Here, you can see the date picker. but the code I used is very basic

<div class="field">

<%= label_tag("To date") %>

<%= date_field_tag 'tdate', '2015/08/01', class: 'form-control' %>

</div>

I didn't worried about it until I tried to set default value and you can see the default value '2015/08/01' is not appearing in the date field.

It can't be included from JQuery because I removed "//= require jquery" and "//= require jquery_ujs" from "application.js" and still its showing up.  Nothing special appears in Gemfile too.

ruby version: 2.2.4p230 (2015-12-16 revision 53155) [x86_64-linux]

Rails version: 4.2.6

I still don't care if someone know how to force default value to show up.

Thank you.

Depending on your browser, a normal HTML5 `<input type="date">` (which is what the ERB above creates) will generate a fancy picker, or it may produce a thing that looks like a text field, but behaves differently from one. Regardless how it appears, a "date" input will only accept ISO-formatted dates as its value. Change your value= to '2015-08-01' and it may appear as you expect.
