Your JavaScript code will initialize the datepicker control with common properties such as autoclose, format, todayHighlight, clearBtn and orientation. However, you might add several properties as per your needs which is stated in the documentation of the control.

  3. Hi, great code here but I just had one issue after implementing it. The pointer at the bottom of the datepicker popup window is showing on the wrong side (if orientation is bottom the pointer should be on top toward the text box). Is there any way to fix this? Thank you.
