DatePicker JSP Tag Overview
The DatePicker JSP tag is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI DatePicker widget.
Getting Started
Configuration
Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI DatePicker.
Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for JSP.
Step 2 Create a new action method which renders the view.
@RequestMapping(value = {"index"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index() {
return "web/datepicker/index";
}
Step 3 Add the Kendo UI taglib mapping to the page.
<%@taglib prefix="kendo" uri="https://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/jsp/tags"%>
Step 4 Add a datepicker tag.
<kendo:datePicker name="datepicker" value="<%= new java.util.Date() %>">
</kendo:datePicker>
Event Handling
Subscribe to Events
You can subscribe to all events exposed by Kendo UI DatePicker by the handler name.
<kendo:datePicker name="datepicker" change="datepicker_change"></kendo:datePicker>
<script>
function datepicker_change() {
//Handle the change event
}
</script>
Reference
Existing Instances
You are able to reference an existing DatePicker instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, you are able to use the DatePicker API to control its behavior.
//Put this after your Kendo DatePicker tag declaration
<script>
$(function() {
// Notice that the Name() of the datepicker is used to get its client-side instance
var datepicker = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker");
});
</script>
