Using Html service, get date input - calendar pop up

Question

I\'m trying to get a basic html page working with the google html service. As of now I have:

Welcome to some random page
<         


        
      

Answer 1

you can't mix UiApp and HTML service, try the JQuery datepicker as shown in the example below :

read also the doc here

code.gs

function doGet() {
  return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('html.html').setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.NATIVE);
}

html.html

  
  
  
Choose date : 

online example : here

And about your comment on using SpreadsheetApp, see doc here

edit : following comments about speed, here is a version that link to the Google hosted library to be faster. Added some style too (online example updated)

Welcome to some random page

Please select a date below :

click here : 

You can also choose a different style... try to replace "smoothness" with "redmond" or "south-street", doc is on the JQuery site
