Can you guide me on how to activate the pickadate.js calendar above the input field?

Encountering an issue with the Pickadate calendar. There seems to be a problem at the bottom of the page, please refer to the attachment for more details. My challenge is that I need to display the Pickadate calendar above the input field when the field is located at the bottom of the browser window.

Here is the code I have attempted:

$('#description_award').pickadate({
    format: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
    formatSubmit: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
    min: scriptDate,
    max: maxDate,
    drops: "up"
});

Answer №1

To set a root for the picker, use the container-option like this: container: '#my-root'. The root element can be placed anywhere on the page. You can then style the picker using CSS. For instance, 

#my-root .picker__holder { bottom:0; }
would position it above the root element, as it is absolutely positioned.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  jQuery('.datepicker').pickadate({container:"#my-root"});
});
html { padding-top: 150px; /* just for stack-overflow */ }
#my-root { outline: 1px solid red; /* just a visual clue */ }
#my-root .picker__holder { bottom: 0; }
