Menu
I'm using datepicker in an input form, and sending the results through json to a database. I am using this line, to get the date from the datePicker:
date = $("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate');
Now, I would expect this to return 2014-04-03T00:00:00.000Z
But in fact it returns 2014-04-02T22:00:00.000Z
Notice the two hour difference, which unintentionally changes the day of month as well. I have no use for the hours and the smaller time units. However I do want the date to be right, without adding a dreaded +1 to my code. I suspect this has something to do with time zones, but I can't seem to find a solution to it in the documentation, or other Q&A's online. Could anyone point me in the right direction? My time zone is GMT +1 if that matters.
Thanks :)

Syntax: $(". selector"). datepicker( {defaultDate:"+6"} );
Steps to add Datepicker – $(document). ready(function(){ $("#setMin,#setMax"). datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" }); $('#datepicker'). datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd", maxDate:'+1m +10d', minDate: -10 }); });
To change the position of the jQuery UI Datepicker just modify . ui-datepicker in the css file. The size of the Datepicker can also be changed in this way, just adjust the font size.
You can restrict the users from selecting a date within the particular range by specifying MinDate and MaxDate properties. The default value of MinDate property is 1/1/1920 and MaxDate property is 12/31/2120 . Dates that appears outside the minimum and maximum date range will be disabled (blackout).
I solved this a while ago, but forgot to post an answer.
After retrieving date, this is how i fixed it:
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() - date.getTimezoneOffset());
