Datepicker : Datepicker on Modal (z-index)

Question

I face this problem today when I try to show datepicker on Bootstrap Modal.

I'm using bootstrap-datepicker as datepicker library.

Here is my modal form :

<div class="form-group">
     <label for="message-text" class="control-label">Start Date</label>
          <div class="input-group date">
               <div class="input-group-addon">
                   <i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>
               </div>
               <input type="text" class="form-control pull-right datepicker" id="datepicker2" name="start_date">
           </div>
</div>

And here is my datepicker script :

$('#datepicker2').datepicker({
        autoclose: true,
        format: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
        zIndexOffset: 10000
    });

I already using zIndexOffset but it's not working, the calendar still shown behind the modal.

Can anyone suggest the solution ?

Thank you.

You should try adding the date picker container inside the modal div. You could give the modal an id like this:

<div class="form-group" id="myModalWithDatePicker">
  <label for="start_date" class="control-label">Start Date</label>
  <div class="input-group date">
    <div class="input-group-addon">
      <i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>
    </div>
    <input type="text" class="form-control pull-right datepicker" id="datepicker2" name="start_date">
  </div>
</div>

Then you can use the container option like the following:

$('#datepicker2').datepicker({
    autoclose: true,
    container: '#myModalWithDatePicker',
    format: 'yyyy-mm-dd'
});
