Chrome type=“date” and jquery ui date picker clashing

Question

I have a input box having type=\"date\", everything works fine in IE but in latest version of Chrome it comes with a spinner, Down arrow and with a placeholder of mm/dd/yyyy

Answer 1

You can just remove the type of "date" and switch it to "text" like in the following fiddle: best of luck jsfiddle

removeDefaultDate = function(){
    $('input[type=date]').each(function(){
        this.type="text";
    });
    $('input[type=date]').datepicker({dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
}
