jQWidgets jqxCalendar val() Method

Last Updated : 27 Jul, 2021

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful and optimized framework, platform-independent, and widely supported. The jqxCalendar represents a jQuery calendar widget that enables the user to select a date using a visual monthly calendar display.

The val() method is used to set or return the jqxCalendar's value. This method accepts date as a parameter. We will use start and end date when we use selectionMode to "range".

Syntax:

$("selector").jqxCalendar('val', Date);

or

$("selector").val(Date);
