DateInput Integration
The DatePicker provides integration options with the Kendo UI for jQuery DateInput for the input element it renders.
To use the DateInput as the input element in a DatePicker, enable the dateInput property of the DatePicker.
<input id="datepicker" />
<script>
$("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({
dateInput: true
});
</script>
To customize the placeholders of the DateInput set the messages.dateInput configuration.
