Something like input type date

I need something like input type='date' when i'm clicking the input on mobile to appear the specific datepicker from phone.. Example for iphone

But I want to display the date how I want.. Exactly what I need is to display the date like this: dd/mm/yy

Users become familiar with the default UI of their device, it may be confusing or annoying if you mess with that. — RobG, Dec 19 '16 at 11:51
@RobG yeah but I want just after selecting the date from the default UI of the device, to display selected date ..how I want....that is after the user select what date want — Apers1952, Dec 19 '16 at 12:00
The issue with dd/mm/yyyy (and mm/dd/yyyy) is that for many dates it is ambiguous unless you also include a hint of the format. Better to use an unambiguous format like 19 December, 2016. Just a suggestion. ;-) — RobG, Dec 19 '16 at 12:05
@RobG understand but now after select date on mobile in the input I have for example Dec 19, 2015 instead 19/12/2015. The client want to display the date like this — Apers1952, Dec 19 '16 at 12:09

You can try this HTML5 tag:

<input type="date" value="YYYY-MM-DD"/>

where you can set "value" as the default date.

You can also use min="YYYY-MM-DD" and max="YYYY-MM-DD" for maximum and minimum dates.

and as for the mask "DD/MM/YYYY", I recommend using bootstrap-datepicker, where you can have tons of options to mask as you want.

Bootstrap-datepicker it's ok for the mask but, not opening the default look on mobile:/ – Apers1952 Dec 19 '16 at 11:58
