Datepicker in html - html

I have a date fields in my Form and I want user to select the dates from the calendar. however I need to create a datepicker.Searched on net still cant find the best answers.Is it possible to have a date picker in html?

You can add a datepicker in html with one of HTML5 Input Types, but also (not supported in Internet Explorer), For example :
<form action="action_page.php">
Birthday:
<input type="date" name="bday">
<input type="submit">
</form>
See DEMO from w3schools.com

How to handle html date picker having type="date" using selenium , on date selection no change in html dom

I am trying to handle the html based date picker, I am able to click on it so that the date picker calendar pop up, but there is no inspect option for calendar.
Even when i manually select the date there is no such change in the HTML DOM, that can be used.
i tried adding date inside it using following workaround, none of them worked(no , thing happening in DOM).
jse.executeScript("document.getElementById('date-input').value='10101990'");
driver.switchTo().activeElement().sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
driver.findElement(By.id("date-input")).sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
In web it appears as editable along with select from calendar option(run the code snippet below)
while in mobile (web) its appearance is different as shown in screenshot.
is there any solution with JAVA-Selenium : Inspect HTML5 date picker shadow DOM
<label for="start">Start date:</label>
<input type="date" id="start" name="trip-start"
min="2020-01-01" max="2020-12-31" value>
<input class="Input-module_input__nj1kl" type="date" id="date-input" data-testid="date-input" placeholder="Date of Birth" required="" aria-invalid="false" aria-describedby="birth-date-input-error" aria-required="true" min="1920-01-01" max="2020-08-18" value>
<label for="date-input" class="Input-module_label__npqrt1">Date of Birth*</label><label for="date-input" class="Input-module_label__30ytr">Date of Birth*</label>
<span role="alert" id="date-input-error" class="Input-module_errorMessage__lMKY" style="display: none;">Please enter a valid date of birth</span>
Below Code sample have worked for me.Update your required date in format yyyy-MM-dd for the variable date
driver.get("http://127.0.0.1:8887/");
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
String date="2009-02-09";
js.executeScript("document.getElementById('date-input').value ='"+date.toString()+"'",2000);
Change your required Id in getElementById('date-input') inside the js executor
Well... I can simply tell you the simple logic
By default when the calendar opens then-current date is selected
You need to check if current date is less or greater than date to be selected. Date.compareTo function will help here
Then you need to navigate to the corresponding month and year combination.
Once you are in the right month and year then you can select the date as well.

Date input without calendar

The default html date input shows a text field and a option to see the calendar. For accessibility purpose, I need the field to show just the numeric input space and not the calendar option.
I have tried the solution here but this only works for Chrome, IE and firefox still show the calendar.
Since Date Fields have compatibility issues. It is better to work with raw HTML with custom CSS styling. I did it for my projects also and it work fine in many situations. You may try working with this code below.
<div class="DemoClass">
<label for=""><strong>Date (dd/mm/yy)</strong></label>
<input type="number" name="date" min="1" max="30">
<input type="number" name="months" min="1" max="12">
<input type="number" name="years" min="1900" max="2099">
</div>

html5 input date attribute selecting between two dates

I am using the html5 date attribute, as so:
<form>
Birthday:
<input type="date" name="bday">
</form>
It works great in that it allows you to select a date on a calendar. However, is it capable of selecting date ranges like the jQuery plugin does?
I dont think you can strictly do that using the HTML5 only. You need to use the Javascript as well to achieve what you are trying to do.
You can refer to Date Range Picker for Twitter Bootstrap
Try this
<label for="start">Start date:</label>
<input type="date" id="start" name="trip-start"
value="2020-07-22"
min="2020-07-01" max="2020-07-31">

iOS5 Safari only attached a date picker to one input element

In the following code on a web page only displays the iPhone Date picker on the first input.
<form action="#" method="post" ...>
<input type="date" name="date-from" placeholder="10/08/2012">
<input type="date" name="date-to" placeholder="10/08/2012">
</form>
Has anyone else come across this? I'm guessing it is a mobile Safari bug rather but I can't find anyone else with the same problem nor any documentation on only the first date field having the date picker attached to it.
Screenshot below for reference
Looking at the development code again, a duplicate type attribute was overriding the initial declaration. Rookie error!
