This is my datepicker field:

<div class="form-group">
              <label for="exampleInputBday">Birthday</label>
              <input type="text" name="bday" class="datepicker" required>
            </div>

This is my javascript:

$(function(){
        $('.datepicker').datepicker({
            startDate: '-3y',
            'format' : 'mm/dd/yyyy',
            autoclose: true
            })
        })
 })

When I open the datepicker, the start date is the current date! How to solve?

  • what do you mean by startDate? jQuery's datepicker widget doesn't such an option. do you mean minDate?

  • The earliest date that may be selected; all earlier dates will be disabled. Is 'datepicker for boostrap' -> eternicode.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker

  • Not sure I get it, startDate sets the earliest date that may be selected; all earlier dates will be disabled. Is this not what you're trying to do? If not, you should read the documentation, all you have to do is set the value of the element to whatever date you choose ?

Reset to default

This should do the trick. When you are defining the date picker, you can use setDate option:

$(".datepicker").datepicker("setDate", "10/12/2013");

    Ths issue of course is that the two of you are working with different datepickers, the OP is using the bootstrap datepicker while this answer uses the jQuery UI datepicker ?
