changing minDate option in JQuery DatePicker not working

Question

I have declared a date picker instance as follows:

    $(\"#datePickerId\").datepicker(
    { dateFormat: \'DD, d MM yy\',
      minDate: 0,
      showOn: \'         


        

Answer 1

Say we have two date select fields, field1, and field2. field2 date depends on field1

$('#field2').datepicker();
$('#field1').datepicker({
  onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
    $('#field2').val("");
    $('#field2').datepicker("option", "minDate", new Date(dateText));
  }
});
