HTML DOM Input Date Object

Input Date Object

The Input Date object is new in HTML5.

The Input Date object represents an HTML <input> element with the type="date" attribute.

Note:IE11 and earlier versions do not support <input> elements with the type="date" attribute.

You can access an <input> element with the type="date" attribute by using the getElementById() function:

var x = document.getElementById("myDate"); Try it Yourself

Tip:You can also use the form'selementscollection to access the Input Date object.

You can use the document.createElement() method to create an <input> element with the type="date" attribute:

var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "date"); Try it Yourself
