Restrict date in jquery datepicker based on another datepicker or textbox

I have two text boxes with a datepicker hooked up to them. The text boxes are for start date and end date. The first datepicker is setup so that the user cannot choose a date before today, but can choose any date in the future.

How can I setup the second datepicker so that it cannot choose a date before the date chosen in the first date picker? For example: If today is 12/11/10 and I choose 12/15/10 in the first datepicker, then the second date picker shouldn't be able to choose anything before 12/15/10.

Heres what I have so far:

$("#txtStartDate").datepicker({ minDate: 0 });
$("#txtEndDate").datepicker({});

Hi everyone going to show what works with me in this case:

  • 2 Datepickers ( DateFrom and DateTo)
  • HTML:

<!-- Datapicker dateFrom -->    
<label for="dateFrom"> Date from: </label>
  <div>
    <input type="text" id="dateFrom" class="form-control" autocomplete="off"
               th:placeholder="Enter a date From.."/>
    </div>
                                    
<!-- Datapicker dateTo-->   
<label for="dateTo"> Date to: </label>
  <div>
      <input type="text" id="dateTo" class="form-control" autocomplete="off"
               th:placeholder="Enter a date to..."/>
    </div>

  • Next you build your datapickers in JavaScript:
    Datapicker activation (With YOUR datapicker build requirements)

$("#dateFrom").datepicker({ 
    dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
    showButtonPanel: true
    });

$('#dateTo').datepicker({                
    dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
    showButtonPanel: true
});

-And finally on the OnChange Event, for every time a Date is picked in any of the datepickers the selectable range avaliable in the other Datapicker changes.

$("body").on("change", "#dateFrom", function() {    
    $('#dateTo').datepicker('option', 'minDate', $("#dateFrom").datepicker("getDate"));
});

$("body").on("change", "#dateTo", function() {
    $('#dateFrom').datepicker('option', 'maxDate', $("#dateTo").datepicker("getDate"));
});

This make the DateTo DataPicker limit on change the date of the DateFrom Datapicker and viceversa.

$("#<%=txtFromDate.ClientID%>").datepicker({
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            dateFormat: 'dd-M-yy',
            showOn: "button",
            buttonImage: "../Images/Calendar.png",
            buttonImageOnly: true,
            yearRange: '-20:+20',
            buttonText: "Date with abbreviated month name",
            onSelect: function (selected) {
                var dt = new Date(selected);
                dt.setDate(dt.getDate() + 1);
                $("#<%=txtToDate.ClientID%>").datepicker("option", "minDate", dt);
            }

                dt.setDate(dt.getDate() - 1);
                $("#<%=txtFromDate.ClientID%>").datepicker("option", "maxDate", dt);
            }
        });

Building on the previous answers in this thread, I felt a solution that worked with defaults and reapplied both min and max dates would be useful:

// Defaults
var defaultFromDate = new Date();
var defaultToDate = new Date();
defaultToDate.setMonth(defaultToDate.getMonth() + 1);

// To
$("#datepickerTo").datepicker({
  dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
  changeMonth: true,
  changeYear: true,
});
$("#datepickerTo").datepicker("setDate", defaultToDate);

function limitToDateSpan(currentFromDate) {
  $("#datepickerTo").datepicker("option", "minDate", currentFromDate);

  var maxDate = new Date(currentFromDate.getTime());
  maxDate.setFullYear(maxDate.getFullYear() + 1);

  $("#datepickerTo").datepicker("option", "maxDate", maxDate);
}

limitToDateSpan(defaultFromDate);

// From
$("#datepickerFrom").datepicker({
  dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
  changeMonth: true,
  changeYear: true,
  minDate: "2013-01-01",
  maxDate: "+1Y",
  onSelect: function (dateText) {
    limitToDateSpan(new Date(dateText));
  }
});
$("#datepickerFrom").datepicker("setDate", defaultFromDate);

 $startDateCtrl.change(function () {
            setMinEndDateValue($startDateCtrl, $endDateCtrl);
        });

 $endDateCtrl.datepicker();

I have two Date picker start and end. End Date min and max date we are setting based on the selection from start. Min start date for End date picker is start date from start picker selection. Max end date for end date picker is selected start date from start date picker + 7 days.

function setMinEndDateValue($startDateCtrl, $endDateCtrl) {
            var $maxSchedulingDate = new Date(@MaxDate.Year, @MaxDate.Month -1, @MaxDate.Day );
            var $startDate = $startDateCtrl.val();
            var $selectedStartDate = new Date($startDate);
            $selectedStartDate.setDate($selectedStartDate.getDate() + 7); // increasing the start date by 7 days (End Date max)
            var $maxEndDate = new Date();
            if ($selectedStartDate > $maxSchedulingDate) {
                $maxEndDate = $maxSchedulingDate;
            }
            else {
                $maxEndDate = $selectedStartDate;
            }
            $endDateCtrl.datepicker("option", "minDate", $startDate);
            $endDateCtrl.datepicker("option", "maxDate", $maxEndDate);
        }

Use This Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $("#txtStartDate").datepicker({
            dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
            inline: true,
            minDate: 'dateToday'
        });
        $("#txtEndDate").datepicker({
            dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
            inline: true,
             minDate: $("#txtStartDate").datepicker("getDate") });
        });
</script>

For example, in this sample code, startDatePicker is selected as 2010-12-12, change event of startDatePicker sets the minDate of endDatePicker 2010-12-13. It locks the cells before this date. This is a sample for what @Victor mentioned..I hope it helps...Regards...Ozlem.

$("#startDatePicker").datepicker({ 
    dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
    changeMonth: true,
    minDate: new Date(),
    maxDate: '+2y',
    onSelect: function(date){

        var selectedDate = new Date(date);
        var msecsInADay = 86400000;
        var endDate = new Date(selectedDate.getTime() + msecsInADay);

       //Set Minimum Date of EndDatePicker After Selected Date of StartDatePicker
        $("#endDatePicker").datepicker( "option", "minDate", endDate );
        $("#endDatePicker").datepicker( "option", "maxDate", '+2y' );

    }
});

$("#endDatePicker").datepicker({ 
    dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
    changeMonth: true
});

try this man:

$("#dateTo").datepicker({
    dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    minDate:  new Date()
    }).datepicker("setDate", new Date());
$("#dateFrom").datepicker({
    dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    onSelect: function(){
        $('#dateTo').datepicker('option', 'minDate', $("#dateFrom").datepicker("getDate"));
    }
    }).datepicker("setDate", new Date());

Use the "getDate" method of the first datepicker UI and pass it into minDate option of the second datepicker:

$("#txtEndDate").datepicker({
    showOn: "both",
    minDate: $("#txtStartDate").datepicker("getDate")
});

Update:

The approach above set the minDate only on creation time. I used the onSelect event to change the minDate option of the second datepicker like this:

$("#txtStartDate").datepicker({
  showOn: "both",       
  onSelect: function(dateText, inst){
     $("#txtEndDate").datepicker("option","minDate",
     $("#txtStartDate").datepicker("getDate"));
  }
});

From a pure UI standpoint, you shouldn't. If the user picks the wrong month on both datepickers, and tries to select the correct month, he has a 50% change of being hindered by the UI. Ideally, you would allow the incorrect selection and display a helpful error message saying the end date should be after the end date.

If you wish to implement your idea : give each datepicker a "change" event that changes the options on the other datepicker appropriately.
