I am using this bootstrap-datepicker for my datepicker. I'd like the datepicker to choose "today" for start day or default day.
I cannot figure out how to set "today" automatically, so I did an inefficient way
HTML:
<input type="text" value ="today();" id="datepicker"/>
$('#datepicker').datepicker();
function today(){
var d = new Date();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth() + 1;
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
document.write(curr_date + "-" + curr_month + "-" + curr_year);
}
This should work:
$("#datepicker").datepicker("setDate", new Date());
And for autoclose (fiddle):
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
"setDate": new Date(),
"autoclose": true
});
