Question

I have “enter date” text input field in my registration form. Is there anyway, to put checkbox “Today” near the input field “date” and fill current date ontick, clear on untick? P.S Format must be DD.MM.YYYY

Answer 1

Assuming that your checkbox has id=”todayBox” and your date field has id=”enterDate”, you would use this jQuery code:

$("#todayBox").change(function() {
    var dateStr;
    if (this.checked) {
        var now = new Date();
        dateStr = now.getDate() + "." + (now.getMonth() + 1) + "." + now.getFullYear();
    } else {
        dateStr = "";
    }
    $("#enterDate").val(dateStr);
});
