Functionality problem with adjusting font size in jQuery date picker

Recently, I integrated jQuery and datapicker features into my ASP .NET MVC 3 (Razor) project and noticed that the font size of the datapicker is exorbitantly large.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to adjust this issue?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer №1

To personalize your jQuery UI elements, you have two options: manually edit the jQuery UI css file or create a custom theme on the jQuery UI website before downloading it. If you're using Chrome, Safari, or Firefox with Firebug, simply right-click on the datepicker, choose "inspect element", and locate the specific lines of code in the jQuery UI css file that require modification. If you're unsure about the location of your jQuery UI css file, check the Resources tab in your web inspector for the file path.

Answer №2

To create the desired visual style, you will need to apply specific themes.

Here is an example of markup using jQuery UI CSS Framework classes:

 <div id="ui-datepicker-div" class="ui-datepicker ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-helper-clearfix ui-corner-all ui-helper-hidden-accessible">
<div class="ui-datepicker-header ui-widget-header ui-helper-clearfix ui-corner-all">
   <a class="ui-datepicker-prev ui-corner-all" title="Prev"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-triangle-w">Prev</span></a>
   <a class="ui-datepicker-next ui-corner-all" title="Next"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-triangle-e">Next</span></a>
   <div class="ui-datepicker-title">
      <span class="ui-datepicker-month">January</span><span class="ui-datepicker-year">2009</span>
   </div>
</div>
<table class="ui-datepicker-calendar">
   <thead>
   <tr>
      <th class="ui-datepicker-week-end"><span title="Sunday">Su</span></th>
      ...
   </tr>
   </thead>
   <tbody><tr>
      <td class="ui-datepicker-week-end ui-datepicker-other-month "> 1 </td>
      ...
   </tr>
   </tbody>
</table>
<div class="ui-datepicker-buttonpane ui-widget-content">
   <button type="button" class="ui-datepicker-current ui-state-default ui-priority-secondary ui-corner-all">Today</button>
   <button type="button" class="ui-datepicker-close ui-state-default ui-priority-primary ui-corner-all">Done</button>
</div>

At last, the solution is in sight

  1. Locate jquery.ui.datepicker.css

  2. Add font-size:10px; to every line of .ui-datepicker

  3. Replace with to width: 11em;

CSS:

.ui-datepicker { padding: .2em .2em 0; display: none; font-size:10px;  width: 11em;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-header { position:relative; padding:.2em 0; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-prev, .ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-next { position:absolute; top: 2px; width: 1.8em; height: 1.8em; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-prev-hover, .ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-next-hover { top: 1px; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-prev { left:2px; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-next { right:2px; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-prev-hover { left:1px; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-next-hover { right:1px; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-prev span, .ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-next span { display: block; position: absolute; left: 50%; margin-left: -8px; top: 50%; margin-top: -8px;  font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-title { margin: 0 2.3em; line-height: 1.8em; text-align: center; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-title select { font-size:1em; margin:1px 0; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker select.ui-datepicker-month-year {width: 100%; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker select.ui-datepicker-month, 
.ui-datepicker select.ui-datepicker-year { width: 49%; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker table {width: 100%; font-size: .9em; border-collapse: collapse; margin:0 0 .4em; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker th { padding: .7em .3em; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; border: 0;  font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker td { border: 0; padding: 1px; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker td span, .ui-datepicker td a { display: block; padding: .2em; text-align: right; text-decoration: none; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-buttonpane { background-image: none; margin: .7em 0 0 0; padding:0 .2em; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; border-bottom: 0; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-buttonpane button { float: right; margin: .5em .2em .4em; cursor: pointer; padding: .2em .6em .3em .6em; width:auto; overflow:visible; font-size:10px;}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-buttonpane button.ui-datepicker-current { float:left; font-size:10px;}

Answer №5

There seems to be some conflicting CSS affecting the default font-size of that element, or it may be missing altogether. Simply redefine it or specify !important to override any other CSS values present.

Below is the CSS code to redefine it:

.ui-datepicker table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    font-size: 0.9em; /*add !important if it doesn't recognize the size*/
}
