abecoffman / birthdaypicker Goto Github PK

If you have a Feburary birthday you can pick up to the 28th, but if your birthday falls on a leap year, the 29th doesn't appear.

Using the below, it alleviates the strange issue of chrome parsing the date differently.

function parseDate(input) {
var parts = input.match(/(\d+)/g);
// new Date(year, month [, date [, hours[, minutes[, seconds[, ms]]]]])
return new Date(parts[0], parts[1]-1, parts[2]); // months are 0-based
}

I just realized that it would be really awesome if I could more easily access the hidden date from within the birthdaypicker instance itself instead of having to select the data from the hidden input field.

bdaypicker = $('foo').birthdaypicker(options)

Date date = bdapypicker.getDate()

and/or:

date = bdapypicker.getDateString()
date is then in: 'yyyy-mm-dd' format (or whatever the date format is from the options)

I use this for load birthdaypicker.

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#picker1").birthdaypicker({});
});

It does not load/display in IE 9 and 10

Just wanted to let you know that the defaultDate doesn't work with mm-dd-yyyy format as it's shown at http://abecoffman.com/stuff/birthdaypicker/

It was no big deal for me since changing the defaultDate from defaultDate: "12-25-2010" to defaultDate: "2010-12-25" got the fields to recognize the date. Anywho, thank you and good luck with further updates.

Your defaultDate functionality isn't using the UTC get year/month/date methods so if a defaultDate is supplied, your drop down list will always be a day behind.

Can we implement localization?

The day is reset when the current year is selected, and FutureDates is not on.
This is the code that does it:
// reset the day selection
$day.children(":first").attr("selected", "selected");

Is this necessary? It doesn't seem to be.

Currently the date value can be formatted like this YYYY-M-D depending on the day and month. How can I change it so that it is always YYYY-MM-DD?

Hi, I'm getting a left margin/padding that I don't know how to remove. I have no css on this page except for "fieldset { padding: none; border: none; }" to remove the border.

Any idea?

Let's say I pass in a defaultDate of format 'YYYY-MM-DD'. That sets hidden date to that format.

However, if my dateFormat is not bigEndian, then the date format gets moved around as soon as something in the popup changes.

Really what should have been done is that the hiddenDate stays one single format (preferably, YYYY-MM-DD) regardless of whatever dateFormat is. Or there should be a hiddenDateFormat setting.

I have quite a bit of different scripts loaded in specific order. I want to set up an event listener for date drop-downs, but problem is that they always render last. Is this expected behaviour?

Dependency on Date(string) constructor which does not have a standardized behaviour (i.e. spec on what formats are parsable).
yyyy-mm-dd is not (on a Mac). Perhaps yyyy-mm-dd fails someplace else but mm-dd-yyyy works ?

Something like: (from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3085937/safari-js-cannot-parse-yyyy-mm-dd-date-format)

function parseDate(input, format) {
format = format || 'yyyy-mm-dd'; // default format
var parts = input.match(/(\d+)/g),
i = 0, fmt = {};
// extract date-part indexes from the format
format.replace(/(yyyy|dd|mm)/g, function(part) { fmt[part] = i++; });

return new Date(parts[fmt['yyyy']], parts[fmt['mm']]-1, parts[fmt['dd']]);
}

might work. Trying it now !

Occasionally, the plugin fails on line 100, with the error, "Object has no method 'appendTo'" which is obviously crazy, since it does. It happens sporadically, on all browsers. I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason to it yet.

We're using jQuery 1.8.3.
