How to set minDate to current date in jQuery UI Datepicker?

Question

This is my code and it is not working correctly. I want to set minDate to the current date. How can I do it?

$("input.DateFrom").datepicker({     changeMonth: true,      changeYear: true,      dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',     maxDate: 'today',     onSelect: function(dateText) {         $sD = new Date(dateText);         $("input#DateTo").datepicker('option', 'minDate', min);     } 

Answer 1

You can specify minDate as today by adding minDate: 0 to the options.

$("input.DateFrom").datepicker({     minDate: 0,     ... });

Answer 2

You can use the minDate property, like this:

$("input.DateFrom").datepicker({     changeMonth: true,      changeYear: true,      dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',     minDate: 0, // 0 days offset = today     maxDate: 'today',     onSelect: function(dateText) {         $sD = new Date(dateText);         $("input#DateTo").datepicker('option', 'minDate', min);     } }); 

You can also specify a date, like this:

minDate: new Date(), // = today
