jQuery DatePicker with today as maxDate

Question

I would like to set today's date as a maxdate for jQuery datepicker in order to prevent users from picking date greater than today's date

Answer 1

$(".datepicker").datepicker({maxDate: '0'});

This will set the maxDate to +0 days from the current date (i.e. today). See:

Answer 2

$( ".selector" ).datepicker( "option", "maxDate", '+0m +0w' );

Answer 3

If you're using bootstrap 3 date time picker, try this:

$('.selector').datetimepicker({ maxDate: $.now() });

Answer 4

For those who dont want to use datepicker method

var alldatepicker=  $("[class$=hasDatepicker]");

alldatepicker.each(function(){

var value=$(this).val();

var today = new Date();

var dd = today.getDate();

var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!

var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

if(dd<10) {

    dd='0'+dd

} 
if(mm<10) {

    mm='0'+mm

} 
today = mm+'/'+dd+'/'+yyyy;
if(value!=''){
if(value>today){
alert("Date cannot be greater than current date");
}
}
});
