I've got these inputs and this model:
<input name="date" type="date" ng-model="model.date" />
<input name="time" type="time" ng-model="model.time" />
model{
date: "yyyy-mm-dd",
time: "hh24:mi"
}
I need the date and the time as a string and that format is ok for what I have to do. The problem is the input date and input time only work properly with Chrome. If I use Firefox these inputs become two simple input text.
What can I do?
As mentioned in W3Schools, the HTML5 input date is not supported in Firefox. Therefore, all input date will become simple input text in Firefox, as well as IE.
<select> tags.
Below I used JS (no jQuery) and HTML to create the datepicker and timepicker. Also, I have also created a "Validate" button to validate the values of the date, which means that "31 Feb 2012" and "29 Feb 2014" will be considered invalid.
HTML:
<table><tr><td>Event Date: </td><td> <select id="startday"></select><select id="startmonth">
<option value="01">Jan</option>
<option value="02">Feb</option>
<option value="03">Mar</option>
<option value="04">Apr</option>
<option value="05">May</option>
<option value="06">Jun</option>
<option value="07">Jul</option>
<option value="08">Aug</option>
<option value="09">Sep</option>
<option value="10">Oct</option>
<option value="11">Nov</option>
<option value="12">Dec</option>
</select> <select id="startyear"></select></td></tr>
<tr><td>Event Time:</td><td> <select id="starthrs"></select><select id="startmins"></select> [24 hrs clock]</td></tr>
</table><br><br>
<input type="button" id="validate" value="Validate"> <a style="color: Red;" id="error"></a>
JS:
for(var i = 0; i < 24; i++) {
var s = i.toString();
if(s.length == 1) {
s = "0" + s;
}
document.getElementById("starthrs").innerHTML += ("<option value='" + i + "'>" + s + " </option>");
}
for(var i = 0; i < 60; i++) {
var s = i.toString();
if(s.length == 1) {
s = "0" + s;
}
document.getElementById("startmins").innerHTML += ("<option value='" + i + "'>" + s + " </option>");
}
for(var i = 1; i < 32; i++) {
var s = i.toString();
if(s.length == 1) {
s = "0" + s;
}
document.getElementById("startday").innerHTML += ("<option value='" + s + "'>" + i + " </option>");
}
for(var i = new Date().getFullYear(); i < (new Date().getFullYear() + 11); i++) {
document.getElementById("startyear").innerHTML += ("<option value='" + i + "'>" + i + " </option>");
}
function ddlValue(id) {
var e = document.getElementById(id);
var strUser = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
return strUser;
}
// Validate date
function isDate(ExpiryDate) { // MM/DD/YYYY format
var objDate, // date object initialized from the ExpiryDate string
mSeconds, // ExpiryDate in milliseconds
day, // day
month, // month
year; // year
// date length should be 10 characters (no more no less)
if (ExpiryDate.length !== 10) {
return false;
}
// third and sixth character should be '/'
if (ExpiryDate.substring(2, 3) !== '/' || ExpiryDate.substring(5, 6) !== '/') {
return false;
}
// extract month, day and year from the ExpiryDate (expected format is mm/dd/yyyy)
// subtraction will cast variables to integer implicitly (needed
// for !== comparing)
month = ExpiryDate.substring(0, 2) - 1; // because months in JS start from 0
day = ExpiryDate.substring(3, 5) - 0;
year = ExpiryDate.substring(6, 10) - 0;
// test year range
if (year < 1000 || year > 3000) {
return false;
}
// convert ExpiryDate to milliseconds
mSeconds = (new Date(year, month, day)).getTime();
// initialize Date() object from calculated milliseconds
objDate = new Date();
objDate.setTime(mSeconds);
// compare input date and parts from Date() object
// if difference exists then date isn't valid
if (objDate.getFullYear() !== year ||
objDate.getMonth() !== month ||
objDate.getDate() !== day) {
return false;
}
// otherwise return true
return true;
}
document.getElementById("validate").onclick = function() {
var startday = parseInt(ddlValue("startday"));
var startmonth = parseInt(ddlValue("startmonth"));
var startyear = parseInt(ddlValue("startyear"));
var starthrs = parseInt(ddlValue("starthrs"));
var startmins = parseInt(ddlValue("startmins"));
// Invalid date
if(!isDate(ddlValue("startmonth") + "/" + ddlValue("startday") + "/" + ddlValue("startyear"))) {
document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = "Invalid date";
return;
}
document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = "";
}
Fiddle. Hope that helped.
<select> and <option> tags for the datepicker. But not for the timepicker I guess.AFAIK, 'date' input type is supported only by chrome at the moment. May be this answer will help with your need.
