min/max attribute with type = date on HTML5

Question

I'm having some problems to set a minimum and a maximum YEAR with HTML5 date input.

Here is my code:

<input required="required"  min="1900-01-01" max="2099-09-13" type="date" class="form-control" id="inputDataNascimento">

It doesn't work at all.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug?

Notes: I'm using Google Chrome and Twitter Bootstrap 3.

Solution 1

Some browsers like Safari and Internet Explorer does not support this functionality, this may be your problem. Write validation via Javascript.

The list of browers that support this feature can be seen at:...

Solution 2

min and max attributes for date input type have very little browser support. You can use jQuery validation as a workaround.

<input id="dateInput" required="required"  min="1900-01-01" max="2099-09-13" type="date" class="form-control">
<script>
    $("#dateInput").validate();
</script>

I'm using Chrome :/ . Date is working. 'min' and 'max' are not. :(

Are you using Jquery? There are some nice widgets there some nice date functions. query ui

Sadly, the minimum and maximum controls still don't work for Safari on iOS.

"Fully implemented" is in the eye of the beholder. In Chrome, at least, the min and max apply to the date picker associated with the input, but not with changes typed into the input box. (As of Version 93)
