Input DatetimeLocal Object
The Input DatetimeLocal object represents an HTML <input> element with type="datetime-local".
Note: <input> elements with type="datetime-local" do not show as any datetime field/calendar in Firefox or in IE12 and earlier versions.
Access an Input DatetimeLocal Object
You can access an <input> element with type="datetime-local" by using getElementById():
Example(1)
<input type="datetime-local" id="myLocalDate" value="2014-11-16T15:25:33">
<button class="btn btn-primary" onclick="get_date()">Try it</button>
<h2 id="demo"></h2>
<script>
function get_date() {
var x = document.getElementById("myLocalDate").value;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
</script>
You can also access <input type="datetime-local"> by searching through the elements collection of a form.
You can create an <input> element with type="datetime-local" by using the document.createElement() method:
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick="get_date1()">Get Date</button>
<script>
function get_date1() {
var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "datetime-local");
document.body.appendChild(x);
}
</script>
