<input> - datetime

HTML DOM Input Datetime object

The Input Datetime object is new in HTML5.

Input Datetime objects represent HTML <input> elements using the type="datetime" attribute.

Note: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera 15 (and later) or Chrome support <input> elements with type="datetime".

You can use the getElementById() function to access <input> elements with the type="datetime" attribute:

var x = document.getElementById("myDatetime");

Tip: You can also access the Input Datetime object through the form's elements collection.

You can use the document.createElement() method to create an <input> element with the type="datetime" attribute:

var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "datetime");
