How to resize the Bootstrap DatePicker?

My code is like this :

    <input class="input-medium" size="16" type="text"><span class="add-on"><i class="icon-th"></i></span>
</div>

    $('.datepicker').datepicker({
        autoclose: true,
        startDate: new Date()
    });
});

I want to change the size of the bootstrap datepicker

Any suggestion to solve my problem

You can control the width using .datepicker and .table-condensed selectors:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.datepicker').datepicker({
    autoclose: true,
    startDate: new Date()
  });
});

.datepicker,
.table-condensed {
  width: 500px;
  height:500px;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.1.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<script src="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.1.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://eternicode.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker/bootstrap-datepicker/js/bootstrap-datepicker.js"></script>
<div class="input-append date datepicker no-padding" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy">
  <input class="input-medium" size="16" type="text"><span class="add-on"><i class="icon-th"></i></span>
</div>

You need to apply both because .table-condensed has max-width:100%. if you get rid of this you can control the size using .datepicker

Here is the magic spell that worked well for me. And it does well in most browsers.

.datepicker,
.table-condensed {
    width: 220px;
    height: 220px;
    font-size: x-small; 
}

Basically, it displays a scaled down size of the bootstrap datepicker.
