Question

I want to get the date from a rich:calendar component in javascript in order to compare it with another date and disable the dates which are over or under each other (“from” date can’t be after “to” date) I know how to disable dates, but I haven’t been able to get the date,
I’ve tried with:

#{rich:element('FromDate')}.component.getSelectedDate().getTime()
#{rich:component('FromDate')}.getSelectedDate().getTime()
#{rich:component('FromDate')}.Date.getTime()
#{rich:component('FromDate')}.getTime()

the idea is to after it make a comparation like

function disablementFunction(day){
    if (#{rich:element('FromDate')}.component.getSelectedDate().getTime() -
      day.date.getTime() >= 0) { 
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

You can use Richfaces js api to get the current date:

RichFaces.$('FromDate').currentDate.getTime()

Just for clarification your code snippet will become something like:

function disablementFunction(day){
    if (RichFaces.$('FromDate').currentDate.getTime() >= 0) { 
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}

Of Course you can still refer to this date using el expression:

#{rich:component('FromDate')}.currentDate.getTime();
