How to make the calendar popup on click of a calendar icon ?

Question

I am working on the website in which I want to popup the calendar on hitting calendar icon.

The HTML code which I have used in order to place Start Date

Answer 1

Just an Id to the Calendar icon and click action to the corresponding icon using javascript

        $(document).ready(function() {
          $('#calendar1').click(function(event) {
            $('.start_date').datepicker('show');
          });


          $('#calendar2').click(function(event) {
            $('.end_date').datepicker('show');
          });
        });
