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.

Answer 1

You just need to specify a minimum date - setting it to 0 means that the minimum date is 0 days from today i.e. today. You could pass the string '0d' instead (the default unit is days).

$(function () {
    $('#date').datepicker({ minDate: 0 });
});

Answer 2

This should work <input type="text" id="datepicker">

var dateToday = new Date();
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
    minDate: dateToday,
    onSelect: function(selectedDate) {
    var option = this.id == "datepicker" ? "minDate" : "maxDate",
    instance = $(this).data("datepicker"),
    date = $.datepicker.parseDate(instance.settings.dateFormat || $.datepicker._defaults.dateFormat, selectedDate, instance.settings);
    dates.not(this).datepicker("option", option, date);
    }
});

//disable future dates

$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
            format: 'DD-MM-YYYY',
            maxDate: new Date
        }); 

//disable past dates

 $('#datetimepicker2').datetimepicker({
        format: 'DD-MM-YYYY',
        minDate: new Date
    });
