Expand Input Date Calendar (browser Native)

Is it possible to expand a native browser calendar.. ..just like you're actually clicking on it? I tried simulating a click

Solution 1:

There is no need to trigger any event to display Native DatePicker/TimePicker. If browser supports HTML5 input type date/time, then it will open native DatePicker/TimePicker. Check this example

Solution 2:

May be you can use this hack -

HTML

<input id="calendar"type="date"></input>
<input class="button"type="button" value="Click"/>

CSS

#calendar {
  position: absolute;
  opacity: 0;
  right: 15px;
}

.button{
  float: right;
}

Uses CSS to position the datepicker just over the btn. The datepicker is hidden using Opacity: 0 so users can see your button.
