Hi,

I have a calendar control and Iam trying to dynamically populate the calendar control with last 1 month's date as the default date through the help of a fex.

The requirement is intially as soon as I run the Html/parameter page, the calendar should be blank and only upon clicking on the calendar control,the default date i.e, last 1 month's date should begin populated but right now the default date is getting populated as soon as the page loads.

Can anyone please let me know how to do this in javascript?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks a lot in advance...

Regards,
IP

Here is some JS, that you can use to set the date to last month or X amount of days from current day. Maybe you can use this or it will give you some other ideas.


 

       var Today        = new Date();

        Today.setDate(Today.getDate() -2);
        Today.toLocaleDateString();

       var DateMM   = Today.getMonth() + 1;  // javascript months are 0 through 11
       var DateDD   = Today.getDate();
       var DateYYYY = Today.getFullYear();

   if (DateMM   < 10)  DateMM = '0'  + DateMM;
   if (DateDD   < 10)  DateDD = '0'  + DateDD;

        var formdate = DateMM + '/' + DateDD + '/' + DateYYYY;

     document.form1.calendar1.value=formdate;
     document.form1.calendar2.value=formdate;

Hi ,

Thanks Mattc for the quick response and for the solution.
Actually I can populate the default values through the help of a fex but the problem is I need to know how to keep the default date as blank when the page loads and only upon clicking on the calendar control,the default date say last 1 month's date should get populated.

Hope Iam clear now.

Thanks,

Maybe consider not using a fex to populate the calendar because if you don't it comes up blank when you load the page, then use JS to set the date.

Usually there is a JS function named window_onload() near the top of the HTML. You might be able to set the value of the calendar control to blank in that function.
