HTML5 Date Input Type

Recommended Posts

I've got an HTML 5 date input box working on my site. Anyone know how to make the whole thing selectable like a drop down (select) box?

 

Currently you can only select it by clicking on the arrow at the far right of it. I don't mind about losing the cross or up and down arrows. I just want the field to be fully selectable like a drop down box.

 

Any ideas please? Thanks.

If you're using the browsers native picker with a type="date" field then you pretty much just have to accept how that UI looks and works, there's not much you can do to change it.

 

If you really need to be able to select the entire field, then use a type="text" field with your own picker implementation (such jQuery UI's datepicker).

 

Or just use a select box with a list of dates if that is the look you're going for.
