After successfully implementing the datepicker to select a date, I decided to add a buttonImage option for opening the datepicker on image click.
However, I encountered an issue when trying to place my calendar image inside my input element, floated to the left. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to achieve this.
This is the input code:
<input type="text" class="datepicker" id="formDate" />
Below is the datepicker initialization with specific configurations:
$(function(){
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
showOn: "both",
buttonImage: 'img/calendar.png',
buttonImageOnly: true
});
$('.ui-datepicker-trigger').css({padding: '7px' , float:'left', cursor:'pointer', background:'gray' });
});
Despite multiple attempts using margins, floats, and various positioning techniques, including setting position properties for the image and input elements, I still couldn't get the desired outcome.
Every time I tried, the image remained outside the input field like this:
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to place the calendar image inside the input field on the left side, please share them!
