min/max attribute with type = date on HTML5

Question

I'm having some problems to set a minimum and a maximum YEAR with HTML5 date input.

Here is my code:

<input required="required"  min="1900-01-01" max="2099-09-13" type="date" class="form-control" id="inputDataNascimento">

It doesn't work at all.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug?

Notes: I'm using Google Chrome and Twitter Bootstrap 3.

Answer 1

Some browsers like Safari and Internet Explorer does not support this functionality, this may be your problem. Write validation via Javascript.

The list of browers that support this feature can be seen at:...

Answer 2

min and max attributes for date input type have very little browser support. You can use jQuery validation as a workaround.

<input id="dateInput" required="required"  min="1900-01-01" max="2099-09-13" type="date" class="form-control" id="inputDataNascimento">
<script>
    $("#dateInput").validate();
</script>
