I'm working with HTML5 elements input attributes and only Google Chrome supports the date, time attributes. I tried Modernizr but I can't understand on how to integrate it on my website(on how to code it/what is the syntax/includes). Any code snippet there on how to work with date, time attributes to all browsers.
Any browser that does not support the input type date will default to the standard type, which is text, so all you have to do is check the type property (not the attribute), if it's not date, the date input is not supported by the browser, and you add your own datepicker:
if ( $('[type="date"]').prop('type') != 'date' ) {
$('[type="date"]').datepicker();
}
FIDDLE
You can of course use any datepicker you want, jQuery UI's datepicker is probably the one most commonly used, but it does add quite a bit of javascript if you're not using the UI library for anything else, but there are hundreds of alternative datepickers to choose from.
The type attribute never changes, the browser will only fall back to the default text type for the property, so one has to check the property.
The attribute can still be used as a selector, as in the example above.
Modernizr doesn't actually change anything about how the new HTML5 input types are handled. It's a feature detector, not a shim (except for <header>, <article>, etc., which it shims to be handled as block elements similar to <div>).
To use <input type='date'>, you'd need to check Modernizr.inputtypes.date in your own script, and if it's false, turn on another plugin that provides a date selector. You have thousands to choose from; Modernizr maintains a non-exhaustive list of polyfills that might give you somewhere to start. Alternatively, you could just let it go - all browsers fall back to text when presented with an input type they don't recognize, so the worst that can happen is that your user has to type in the date. (You might want to give them a placeholder or use something like jQuery.maskedinput to keep them on track.)
You asked for Modernizr example, so here you go. This code uses Modernizr to detect whether the 'date' input type is supported. If it isn't supported, then it fails back to JQueryUI datepicker.
Note: You will need to download JQueryUI and possibly change the paths to the CSS and JS files in your own code.

This is bit of an opinion piece, but we had great success with WebShims. It can decay cleanly to use jQuery datepicker if native is not available. Demo here
Just use <script src="modernizr.js"></script> in the <head> section, and the script will add classes which help you to separate the two cases: if it's supported by the current browser, or if it's not.
Plus follow the links posted in this thread. It will help you: HTML5 input type date, color, range support in Firefox and Internet Explorer
Chrome Version 50.0.2661.87 m does not support the mm-dd-yy format when assigned to a variable. It uses yy-mm-dd. IE and Firefox work as expected.
best easy and working solution i have found is, working on following browsers
Google Chrome
Firefox
Microsoft Edge
Safari

Two-Script-Include-Solution (2019):
Just include Better-Dom and Better-Dateinput-Polyfill in your scripts section.
Here is a Demo:

I was having problems with this, maintaining the UK dd/mm/yyyy format, I initially used the answer from adeneo https://stackoverflow.com/a/18021130/243905 but that didnt work in safari for me so changed to this, which as far as I can tell works all over - using the jquery-ui datepicker, jquery validation.
if ($('[type="date"]').prop('type') !== 'date') {
//for reloading/displaying the ISO format back into input again
var val = $('[type="date"]').each(function () {
var val = $(this).val();
if (val !== undefined && val.indexOf('-') > 0) {
var arr = val.split('-');
$(this).val(arr[2] + '/' + arr[1] + '/' + arr[0]);
}
});
//add in the datepicker
$('[type="date"]').datepicker(datapickeroptions);
//stops the invalid date when validated in safari
jQuery.validator.methods["date"] = function (value, element) {
var shortDateFormat = "dd/mm/yy";
var res = true;
try {
$.datepicker.parseDate(shortDateFormat, value);
} catch (error) {
res = false;
}
return res;
}

So if I copy and paste the google translate plugin code snippet:
<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
It changes all my site css [from headings, animations to even boostrap css].
I did some research and ofcourse I found class="notranslate" and yes I applied for headings and stuff.
I will try by myself, but an answer would be cool.
It was easy.
So for everyone who has this problem you just have to add class="notranslate" to the stylesheet's Link tag, for each one which actually does something on that specific page.
e.g:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Templates/CSS/bootstrap.min.css" title="standard" class="notranslate" />
I have solution width config javascript
<script>
$(".class-name").addClass("notranslate");
</script>
Hello guys I tried to do it myself but for this I didn't know what I had to do. So basically what I need to do is create a text field a button and a calendar. So I have done almost everything but I need to make it when a date is typed in the text field and I submit it the calendar updates. so far I only got the date in the text field when clicking on a date but this is not what I need. Any help is appreciated thank you
This isn't really a Classic ASP specific question, what you're really after is a Javascript date picker component. Something like this JQuery Datepicker will do exactly what you're after.
Usage:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">

I face a problem when i try to use jqm in my website. A message of 'loading' appears on the bottom of my site. I figured out that it happens since I don't add jqm css. When I add the jqm css everything changes (color layout ect.). How is it possible to remove 'loading' message or add css without conflicts with the main css of my site?
<head>
<link href="css/site.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<!--<link href="css/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.css" rel="stylesheet" /> -->
<!-- disable loading msg -->
<script>
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function(){
$.mobile.loadingMessage = false;
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"> </script>
<script src="scripts/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
I add script in my code. Nothing seems to happen! My problem solved only when i uncomment jqm css code, but then i got many conflicts with the site.css which i dont know how to solve.
To disable jQuery Mobile loading message, you need to override global settings once mobileinit triggers. The code should be placed in head after loading jQuery and before loading jQuery Mobile libraries.
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).on("mobileinit", function () {
$.mobile.loadingMessage = false;
});
</script>
<script src="jquery-mobile.js"></script>
</head>
I am unable to access ruby variables from JavaScript in tideSDK applications. The SDK version I am using, is the currently latest version of 1.2.0.RC4. Here is a basic example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {background: #fff;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<script type="text/python">
helloP = "Hello from Python!";
</script>
<script type="text/ruby">
$helloR = "Hello from Ruby!";
</script>
<script type="text/php">
$helloPHP = "Hello from PHP!";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("Hello from JavaScript!");
alert(helloP);
alert(helloPHP);
alert(helloR);
</script>
</body>
</html>
In this example, I have declared and assigned values to python, PHP and ruby variables.
JavaScript alert() function works with the python and PHP variables, but not with the ruby variable. So, alert(helloP); and alert(helloPHP); work and display a pop up dialog with the contents of those variables, but nothing is displayed with alert(helloR).
On the other hand, ruby functions can be seen by JavaScript. So, if ruby_function is a ruby function, in JavaScript alert( ruby_function() ) works.
So, how can JavaScript see ruby variables? Any suggestions?
This will not work in 1.2 release.
You need to have the ruby in an include file, not inlined.
Then it works as expected.
In Resources folder: index.html
<html>
<head>
<script>
Titanium.include("ruby.rb");
</script>
</head>
<body style="background-color:#ccc;margin:0">
</body>
</html>
<script>
console.log(window.crim);
console.log(crim);
alert(crim.foo);
</script>
in Resources folder: ruby.rb
window.crim = {
'foo' => 'bar'
}
Please see https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/Using+Titanium+Desktop+with+Ruby - look for the info under the heading Titanium Desktop 1.2.0.RC1 SDKs and more recent.
