Question

I am using datepicker for my input name birth_day. And I want to calculate the age from the current year and selected year.

current_yr - selected_yr

but I have no idea on how can I get the selected year from date picker.

this is my code look like.

<script>
    function dateYear(){
        var d = new Date();
                var year = d.getFullYear();
                return year;
    }
    $(function() {
        $( "#id_birth_date" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });

        //how can I get the selected year?
    });

</script>

<input type="text" name="birth_day" id="bd">
<input type="text" name="age" id="ag">

does anyone can give me an idea about my case?

any help will be appreciated …

thanks in advance

Do you mean:

$(function() {
     $("#id_birth_date").datepicker({
           onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
              var startDate = new Date(dateText);
              var selectedYear = startDate.getFullYear(); // selected year
           }
     });
});
