Hi All,
is there any jquery datepicker plugin to display as Buddhist date?
currently I use jquery ui datepicker to display it, but it's not actually I want. here is the code
$(document).ready( function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker( {
appendText: ' yyyy-mm-dd',
autoSize: true,
buttonImage: 'images/calendar.gif',
buttonImageOnly: true,
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
showOtherMonths: true,
selectOtherMonths: true,
showOn: 'both',
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
year = dateText.substring(0, 4);
month = dateText.substring(5, 7);
day = dateText.substring(8);
_year = parseInt(year) + 543 + '';
$(this).val(_year + '-' + month + '-' + day);
},
beforeShow: function(input, inst) {
year = input.value.substring(0, 4);
month = input.value.substring(5, 7);
day = input.value.substring(8);
_year = parseInt(year) - 543 + '';
$(this).datepicker("setDate", new Date(_year, month - 1, day, 0, 0, 0, 0));
}
});
});
what I want is when #datepicker
has no value, the calendar pop up is displaying current date + 543 years. when #datepicker
has value, the calendar pop up is displaying the date in #datepicker
value.
the problem is when selected year is a leap year, i.e. 2008-02-29 AD is valid but we can't display 2551-02-29 (buddhist date) (which is the same date) on that pop up
thank you
