jQuery datepicker to prevent past date

Question

How do I disable past dates on jQuery datepicker? I looked for options but don\'t seem to find anything that indicates the ability to disable past dates.

UPDATE: Th

Answer 1

Try this:

$("#datepicker").datepicker({ minDate: 0 });

Remove the quotes from 0.

Answer 2

Remove the quotes surrounding 0 and it will work.

Working Code Snippet:

// set minDate to 0 for today's date
$('#datepicker').datepicker({ minDate: 0 });

body {
    font-size: 12px; /* just so that it doesn't default to 16px (which is kinda huge) */
}

<!-- load jQuery and jQuery UI -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

<!-- load jQuery UI CSS theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">

<!-- the datepicker input -->
<input type='text' id='datepicker' placeholder='Select date' />

Answer 3

This works:

$("#datepicker").datepicker({ minDate: +0 });

Answer 4

Use the minDate option to set the minimum possible date. http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#option-minDate

Answer 5

I used the min attribute: min="' + (new Date()).toISOString().substring(0,10) + '"

Here's my code and it worked.

<input type="date" min="' + (new Date()).toISOString().substring(0,10) + '" id="' + invdateId + '" value="' + d.Invoice.Invoice_Date__c + '"/>

Answer 6

var givenStartDate = $('#startDate').val();
        alert('START DATE'+givenStartDate);
        var givenEndDate = $('#endDate').val();
        alert('END DATE'+givenEndDate);
        var date = new Date();
        var month = date.getMonth()+1;
        var day = date.getDate();
        var currentDate = date.getFullYear() + '-' +
            (month<10 ? '0' : '') + month + '-' +
            (day<10 ? '0' : '') + day;
        if(givenStartDate < currentDate || givenEndDate < currentDate)
         { 
        $("#updateButton").attr("disabled","disabled"); 
         }
         if(givenStartDate < currentDate && givenEndDate > currentDate)
            {
            $("#updateButton").attr("enabled","enabled");
            }
         if(givenStartDate > currentDate || givenEndDate > currentDate) { 
        $("#updateButton").attr("enabled","enabled"); 
         }

Try this. If any mistake, please correct me :) Thanks all.
