date picker - Post ID 240193

Have had a form working for almost a year and now they'd like changes. I picked off each request except for this one request: in each form where a date is chosen, they'd like to limit the first choice to whatever the date is when the form is filled out. I previously set the first date and final date, and I don't need to change the end date set in Web Form Builder, just the first date. I asked support and they agreed it wasn't part of WFB (and I made a feature request).

Anyone have a work around or will I need to learn how to use an outside date picker for this purpose?

Thanks for any help offered. Have a good day.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks for the reply. Too busy to look at this yesterday.

Downloaded js files and copied to the appropriate folder. A first look at the example looks promising. Looks like I just need to rename a datepicker id to dt1 and it'll use your script to limit the first date to the current day. Nice. I'll give it a try later and let you know. Later I'll have to account for 5 separate date fields, but that should just be a matter of copying and renaming parts of the script. I'm excited so running on too long. Sorry! :)

Thanks again.
