Usage
myDF.selectableRange
Description
Property; sets a single selectable date or a range of selectable dates. The value of this property is an
object that consists of two Date objects named
rangeStart and rangeEnd. The rangeStart and
rangeEnd properties designate the boundaries of the selectable date range. If only rangeStart is
defined, all the dates after
rangeStart are enabled. If only rangeEnd is defined, all the dates
before
rangeEnd are enabled. The default value is undefined.
If you want to enable only a single day, you can use a single Date object as the value of
selectableRange.
Specify a full date when you define dates—for example,
new Date(2003,6,24) rather than new
Date()
. If you don’t specify a full date, the time returns as 00:00:00.
The value of
DateField.selectedDate is set to undefined if it falls outside the selectable range.
The values of
DateField.displayedMonth and DateField.displayedYear are set to the
nearest last month in the selectable range if the current month falls outside the selectable range.
For example, if the current displayed month is August, and the selectable range is from June 2003
to July 2003, the displayed month will change to July 2003.
Example
The following example defines the selectable range as the dates between and including May 7 and
June 7:
myDF.selectableRange = {rangeStart: new Date(2001, 4, 7), rangeEnd: new
Date(2003, 5, 7)};
The following example defines the selectable range as the dates after and including May 7:
myDF.selectableRange = {rangeStart: new Date(2003, 4, 7)};
The following example defines the selectable range as the dates before and including June 7:
myDF.selectableRange = {rangeEnd: new Date(2003, 5, 7)};
The following example defines the selectable date as June 7 only:
myDF.selectableRange = new Date(2003, 5, 7);
