Markup
=======

The following are examples of supported markup.  On their own, these will not provide a datepicker widget; you will need to instantiate the datepicker on the markup.


input
-----

The simplest case: focusing the input (clicking or tabbing into it) will show the picker.

.. code-block:: html

    <input type="text" value="02-16-2012">

.. figure:: _static/screenshots/markup_input.png
    :align: center

component
---------

Adding the ``date`` class to an ``input-append`` or ``input-prepend`` bootstrap component will allow the ``add-on`` elements to trigger the picker.

.. code-block:: html

    <div class="input-append date">
        <input type="text" value="12-02-2012">
        <span class="add-on"><i class="icon-th"></i></span>
    </div>

.. figure:: _static/screenshots/markup_component.png
    :align: center

.. _daterange:

date-range
----------

Using the ``input-daterange`` construct with multiple child inputs will instantiate one picker per input and link them together to allow selecting ranges.

.. code-block:: html

    <div class="input-daterange">
        <input type="text" class="input-small" value="2012-04-05" />
        <span class="add-on">to</span>
        <input type="text" class="input-small" value="2012-04-19" />
    </div>

.. figure:: _static/screenshots/markup_daterange.png
    :align: center

inline or embedded
------------------

Instantiating the datepicker on a simple div will give an embedded picker that is always visible.

.. code-block:: html

    <div data-date="12/03/2012"></div>

.. figure:: _static/screenshots/markup_inline.png
    :align: center


Example to save the embedded datepicker value to a hidden field

.. code-block:: html

    <div id="datepicker" data-date="12/03/2012"></div>
    <input type="hidden" id="my_hidden_input" />

    $('#datepicker').datepicker();
    $("#datepicker").on("changeDate", function(event) {
        $("#my_hidden_input").val(
            $("#datepicker").datepicker('getFormattedDate')
         )
    });
