jQuery datepicker to prevent past date
Solution 1:
Try this:
$("#datepicker").datepicker({ minDate: 0 });
Remove the quotes from 0.
Solution 2:
You just need to specify a minimum date - setting it to 0 means that the minimum date is 0 days from today i.e. today. You could pass the string '0d' instead (the default unit is days).
$(function () {
$('#date').datepicker({ minDate: 0 });
});
