JQuery : Adding DateTime picker for your form

Adding a date picker to your web form is a handy way instead of just typing dates.

It is simple.

1. Loading necessary JavaScript and CSS files
   

   
   <!-- Load jQuery from Google's CDN -->
       <!-- Load jQuery UI CSS  -->
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
       
       <!-- Load jQuery JS -->
       <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
       <!-- Load jQuery UI Main JS  -->
       <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>
   

2. Create a form.
   

   
   <p>Pick a Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker" /></p>
   

   
   Here You should have a id attribute on element that date picker should appear on(Here id is "datepicker")
   
   
3. Adding JavaScript
   

   
   
   $(document).ready(
     
     /* This function will get executed after the DOM is fully loaded */
     function () {
       $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
         changeMonth: true,//this option for allowing user to select month
           datepicker: false,
           format: 'H:i',
         changeYear: false//this option for allowing user to select from year range
       });
     }
   
   );
