Is there a way to style the calendar that pops up if you click the down arrow on a html5 date input?
<form>
<label for="f-duedate">Due date</label>
<input id="f-duedate" type="date" name="duedate"
data-date-format="dd.mm.YYYY">
</form>

I know there are pseudo selectors for styling the input field itself:
::-webkit-datetime-edit-fields-wrapper {
}
::-webkit-datetime-edit-text {
}
::-webkit-datetime-edit-month-field,
::-webkit-datetime-edit-day-field,
::-webkit-datetime-edit-year-field {
}
::-webkit-inner-spin-button {
display: none;
}
::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator:hover {
background:none;
}
At the bare minimum I only need it to work on the latest version of Google Chrome
Currently, there is no cross browser, script-free way of styling a native date picker. As for what's going on inside WHATWG/W3C... If this functionality does emerge, it will likely be under the CSS-UI standard or some Shadow DOM-related standard.
To set and get the input type date in dd-mm-yyyy format we will use <input> type attribute. The <input> type attribute is used to define a date picker or control field. In this attribute, you can set the range from which day-month-year to which day-month-year date can be selected from.
According to Google's FAQ, there is no way to modify the style at this time: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2012/08/Quick-FAQs-on-input-type-date-in-Google-Chrome
How do I change the appearance of the date picker?
You cannot currently style the appearance of the date picker. In WebKit, we have previously provided ways to style form controls with the -webkit-appearance CSS property or the ::-webkit-foo pseudo class selector. However the calendar popup does not provide such ways in WebKit because it is separate from the document, like a popup menu for , and there is not currently a standard for how to control styling on its sub-elements.
You are left with keeping with Chrome's rendering, or using a custom library over an input type="text"
field to prevent conflicts
