HTML DOM Input Datetime Object

The Input Datetime object is new in HTML5.

The Input Datetime object represents an HTML <input> element with type="datetime".

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

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

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 type="datetime":

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