Datepicker Solutions

Solution 1 - Datepicker

The easiest way (and arguably the best way) is to use safari's built in datepicker for your input box using HTML5 type="date"

<input type="date" />

Solution 2 - Datepicker

There is an iPhone native style date picker that runs in the browser - http://cubiq.org/spinning-wheel-on-webkit-for-iphone-ipod-touch/11

Solution 3 - Datepicker

I know it's an old post, but for future viewers: If you are using jQuery, you can try Mobiscroll, a customizable datepicker optimized for touch devices. It ships whith iOS and android skin as well.

Solution 4 - Datepicker

You can't. The date picker is a native control and is not available in Mobile Safari.

Solution 5 - Datepicker

Although the need to register might be a dislike, Mobiscroll looks worth evaluating if you want to provide a consistent fallback for older ios (pre 5.x) and android (pre 4.x) devices - and probably some other platforms, as it promises to support jQMobi (now Intel appframework) and Zepto.

Solution 6 - Datepicker

There is an iPhone style date picker for HTML5 at [Next-Point][1]. Maybe you can change it to meet your needs.

Solution 7 - Datepicker

Well, you could code your own if it was really important to you.

With enough work you could probably get it to look/feel a lot like Apple's native control.

Feels at a gut level like it would be a lot of work for limited payoff.

Solution 8 - Datepicker

<input type="date" />

above code WILL NOT working on mozilla.

firefox doesn't support input type date.

Solution 9 - Datepicker

In ASP.Net you can use the TextBox with type="date".

<asp:TextBox type="date" runat="server" />

In a Html5 compatible browser you will have a date field. In a Html5 non-compatible browser you will have simple text field.
