And that's great that you've developed it. I hope it helps lots of people. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/datepicker-lets-older-dates-be-chosen-and-wont-auto-close-on-selection#post-252606 Tue, 14 May 2013 09:40:32 +0000 James 252606@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I've seen a few people here needing a datepicker with a limited date range, myself included. So I've written a self contained plugin that adds an additional Advanced field that can have a restricted start date, end date, or date range. It has customisable validation messages and works just like a normal Gravity Forms field.</p> <p>It's free and hopefully people will find it useful - feedback is always appreciated.</p> <p>You can get it here: <a href="http://www.smartredfox.com/2013/05/gravity-forms-limited-date-field/" rel="nofollow">http://www.smartredfox.com/2013/05/gravity-forms-limited-date-field/</a></p> <p>Thanks,<br /> James </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/datepicker-lets-older-dates-be-chosen-and-wont-auto-close-on-selection#post-162469 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:42:46 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 162469@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The default datepicker doesn't have a range limit. You would have to add some script to your theme files to prevent past dates.. you would add this to the header.php file of your theme or wherever your theme provider suggest you put custom scripts.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; jQuery(function () { var date = new Date(); var currentMonth = date.getMonth(); var currentDate = date.getDate(); var currentYear = date.getFullYear(); jQuery(&#39;#&lt;%= txtDate.ClientID %&gt;&#39;).datepicker({ minDate: new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, currentDate) }); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p><a href="http://codeasp.net/blogs/raghav_khunger/microsoft-net/1084/jquery-datepicker-disable-past-dates" rel="nofollow">http://codeasp.net/blogs/raghav_khunger/microsoft-net/1084/jquery-datepicker-disable-past-dates</a></p> <p>As far as the not closing issue.. hard to say.

I also can't seem to find a solution searching for it here.</p> <p>The datepicker won't close after a selected date is chosen and it also lets you choose old past dates. </p> <p>What is the issue here? </p>
