Bootstrap Datetimepicker Pop Up Shows Disabled Dates

Question

Following is my code

$('#dob').datetimepicker({
  format: 'DD-MM-YYYY',
  maxDate: new Date("2009", "01", "01"),
  useCurrent: false
});

But when I test my interface it pops up already disabled dates (current month). This is not user friendly. How can I fix it so it opens my maximum allowed month? (January, 2009) Please check following image for reference.

I googled but found no answeres for this.

Answer 1

You can use viewDate option:

This will change the viewDate without changing or setting the selected date.

Here a live sample:

$('#dob').datetimepicker({
  format: 'DD-MM-YYYY',
  maxDate: new Date(2009, 0, 1),
  useCurrent: false,
  viewDate: new Date(2009, 0, 1)
});
