select picture by choosing date in datepicker
select picture by choosing date in datepicker
I would like to create a simple web page, where user can select a picture by choosing date in datepicker. The picture filenames consist date string. For example: img-2018-06-24.png. So far, I could get work this datepicker example:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
//selecting the button and adding a click event
$("#alert").click(function() {
//alerting the value inside the textbox
var date = $("#datepicker").datepicker("getDate");
alert($.datepicker.formatDate("dd-mm-yy", date));
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
<p>Alert the value: <button id="alert">Alert!</button>
</body>
</html>
which popups the selected date after clicking on the button. Instead, I would like to put a picture according to selected date. So, I need to somehow pass the date to filename string and use it in :
<img src= filename alt="myimage">
<img src= filename alt="myimage">
But, so far no luck...

Does following code work?
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
//selecting the button and adding a click event
$("#alert").click(function() {
//alerting the value inside the textbox
var date = $("#datepicker").datepicker("getDate");
if(date) {
var imgSrc = 'img-' + $.datepicker.formatDate("dd-mm-yy", date) + '.png';
$('#show-image').show().attr('src', imgSrc);
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img src='' alt="myimage" id="show-image" style="display:none;">
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
<p>Alert the value: <button id="alert">Alert!</button>
</body>
</html>
You need to set src attribute of img inside the click event like this -
src
img
$("img").attr("src",$.datepicker.formatDate("dd-mm-yy", date));
If you want to change the alt attribute as well, you can do it the same way -
$("img").attr("alt",$.datepicker.formatDate("dd-mm-yy", date));
See working Fiddle
This how you can add src on image
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(); //selecting the button and adding a click event
$("#alert").click(function() { //alerting the value inside the textbox
var date = $("#datepicker").datepicker("getDate");
alert($.datepicker.formatDate("dd-mm-yy", date));
var src= $.datepicker.formatDate("dd-mm-yy", date);
$("#image").attr("src",src+".jpg").show();
});
});
</script> </head> <body>
<img id="img" src="" style="display:none;">
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p> <p>Alert the value: <button id="alert">Alert!</button> </body> </html>
