Build a HTML Date Dropdown Picker
In this video, you will learn how to create a date dropdown picker, as an alternative to the calendar type input that HTML offers by default.
There are 2 main reasons as to why you would want to create this more primitive type of date picker where the days, months and years are split into 3 individual columns and the user selects a value for all 3, to end up with a finalised date: as opposed to the date picker that HTML now comes packaged with.
That is, either for compatibility reasons, like somebody viewing your application on an older browser that does not support HTML’s date input, as it is a fairly recent addition to HTML and therefore has poor compatibility with older browsers. Or, a conscious design choice on your behalf to use this style of dropdown for your date picker, instead of the menu widget that HTML can create for us. Because after all, this style of date picker can seem a bit overwhelming for less tech savvy users, and complexity and motion can contrast harshly with your website if you are going for a basic website design.
