Stylization of Input Date

Question

Well, I was wondering how do I style a input of the kind date

Answer 1

The aesthetic patterns of input date will depend on the browsers that support it. If you want a cross-browser and customizable option, you will have to use a plugin, or something like that. Here’s an example with datePicker jquery:

$(function() {
  $("#datepicker").datepicker({
    showOn: "button",
    buttonText: "Select date"
  });
});

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<input type="text" id="datepicker">

You can style this dataPicker with the classes of Jquery-ui.css, example:

$(function() {
  $("#datepicker").datepicker({
    showOn: "button",
    buttonImageOnly: true,
    buttonText: "Select date"
  });
});

	border-radius: 4px;
	box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(102,175,233,.6);
	display: none;
