Question

Im using DatePicker plugin for a project. But I want to Disable dates older than today .(User couldnt select the old dates)
My js is:

datePickerController.createDatePicker({
formElements:{"inp1":"d-ds-m-ds-Y"} });

In manual :Both methods accept an Object that represents the dates or date ranges to disable.
I couldnt disable the old days yet with many trial and error. Can you please show me any way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Edit:

datePickerController.setRangeLow("myElementID",$today);

datePickerController.setRangeHigh("myElementID",$old_dayes);

I want to set dynamic date in ("myElementID","20081201") .
Date ranges : $today and $old_days = 'dates older than $today'

Answer 1

from the docu (note: this is exactly the link you’ve posted!)

Limiting date selection i.e. setting
date ranges

The datePicker enables you to define
both a lower and upper limit for date
selection.

To add a lower or upper limit, just
add the parameters “rangeHigh” and/or
“rangeLow” to the initialisation
object and set their values to be a
YYYYMMDD date format String; for
example, the following code will limit
date selection outside of the range
13/03/1970 to 20/12/1999:

var opts = {                            
  formElements:{"inp1":"d-sl-m-sl-Y"},
  // Set a range low of 13/03/1970                
  rangeLow:"19700313",
  // Set a range high of 20/12/2009
  rangeHigh:"20091220"                
};      
datePickerController.createDatePicker(opts);

for those, who are not willing to scroll (just one line down in the docu)…

Setting the date range dynamically

The upper and lower date ranges can
also be set programmatically by
calling the following two methods:

// Set the lower limit to be 01/12/2008
datePickerController.setRangeLow("myElementID","20081201");
// Set the upper limit to be 01/12/2009
datePickerController.setRangeHigh("myElementID","20091201");

edit:

html:

<input type="text" id="datepicker"/>

javascript:

var today = new Date();
var options = {
    formElements: {
        "datepicker": "d-sl-m-sl-Y"
    },
    rangeLow: today.getFullYear() + today.getMonth() + today.getDay(),
};
datePickerController.createDatePicker(options);
