I'm using standard JQM date picker with input tag like this
<input type="date" data-clear-btn="false" id="dp" value="2006-09-14">
on request here is jsfiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/GardenOfEmuna/47VUw/
Now I want to display value in a trigger button and open datepicker upon clicking on it.
Has anyone idea how to open datepicker with a trigger button?
You are not using a jqm datepicker, since there is none. You are using the native browser datepicker control and you can't trigger it as proved in this thread
Possible solution:
I've created a jsFiddle, it uses the datepicker from jquery ui with a wrapper class as shown in the jqm documentation (link)
<div data-role="page" id="foo">
<div data-role="content">
<input id='myDatePicker' type="text" data-role="date">
<button id='myButton' class="ui-btn">Button</button>
</div>
</div>
$(document).on('pageinit',function(){
$('#myButton').click(function() {
$('#myDatePicker').datepicker( "show" );
});
});
