How to change JQuery Datepicker Months and Years display to Dropdown?

I have just started working on a Calendar Project in JQuery where I can choose appointments in an event, and I would like to change the current years and months choosing menu from the current form to a dropdown choosing menu because I want to make it easier to switch between dates so that I can find the desired appointments.

example of what would I like to achieve: enter image description here

My question is how could I change it?

body {
  background: #20262E;
  padding: 20px;
  font-family: Helvetica;
}


.popover
{
  left: 5% !important;
  top: 120% !important;
}


.btn 
{
    margin: 1%;
}


#banner-message {
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 4px;
  padding: 20px;
  font-size: 25px;
  text-align: center;
  transition: all 0.2s;
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 300px;
}

button {
  background: #0084ff;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 8px 14px;
  font-size: 15px;
  color: #fff;
}

#banner-message.alt {
  background: #0084ff;
  color: #fff;
  margin-top: 40px;
  width: 200px;
}

#banner-message.alt button {
  background: #fff;
  color: #000;
}


.popover button{
  background: #f48024;
}

.popover button:hover{
  background:#fcb67c;
}

.popover button:focus{
  background: #052049;
}

.popover button:focus:active{
  background: #052049;
}

.arrow {
  
  visibility: hidden;
}

.ui-state-highlight, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-highlight, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-highlight {
  border: 1px solid #dad55e;
  background: #fffa90;
  color: #777620;
}

Solution

  • I added to the date picker the following lines: changeMonth: true, changeYear: true,

    $(".date-picker-2").datepicker({
     minDate: new Date(),
     changeMonth: true,
     changeYear: true,
        onSelect: function(dateText) { 
            $('#example-popover-2-title').html('<b>Available Appointments</b>');
            var html = '<button  class="btn btn-success">8:00 am – 9:00 am</button><br><button  class="btn btn-success">10:00 am – 12:00 pm</button><br><button  class="btn btn-success">12:00 pm – 2:00 pm</button>';
            $('#example-popover-2-content').html('Available times <strong>'+dateText+'</strong><br>'+html);
            $('.date-picker-2').popover('show');
        }
    });
