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

Question

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

$("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 today by adding minDate: 0 to the options.

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

Answer 2

You can use the minDate property, like this:

$("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, like this:

minDate: new Date(), // = today

Answer 3

Use this one :

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