$(\"input.DateFrom\").datepicker({
         


        

Answer 1

You can use the minDate property, like this:

$("input.DateFrom").datepicker({
    changeMonth: true, 
    changeYear: true, 
    dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
    minDate: 0, // 0 days offset = today
    maxDate: 'today',
    onSelect: function(dateText) {
        $sD = new Date(dateText);
        $("input#DateTo").datepicker('option', 'minDate', min);
    }
});

You can also specify a date, like this:

minDate: new Date(), // = today

Answer 2

minDate property for current date works on for both -> minDate:"yy-mm-dd" or minDate:0

Answer 3

can also use:

$("input.DateFrom").datepicker({
    minDate: 'today'
});

Answer 4

I set starting date using this method, because aforesaid or other codes didn't work for me

$(document).ready(function() {
 $('#dateFrm').datepicker('setStartDate', new Date(yyyy, dd, MM));
 });

Answer 5

Use this one :

 onSelect: function(dateText) {
                 $("input#DateTo").datepicker('option', 'minDate', dateText);
            }

Answer 6

You can specify minDate as today by adding minDate: 0 to the options.

$("input.DateFrom").datepicker({
    minDate: 0,
    ...
});
