3.x Upgrade Guide

Version 3.x features a redesigned Month Picker menu which:

  1. Looks more consistent with jQuery UI Datepicker.
  2. Turns the Year title into a button which gives the user a "hint" about the Jump Years menu when they mouse over it.
  3. Allows the user to return to the year they clicked Jump years at.

See it for yourself at the demo on JSFiddle.

An upgrade from an older version is simple, and in many cases only requires a new download.

i18n property name changes

If you changed out the buttons, labels or other text using the i18n support you should rename and translate next5Years to next12Years and prev5Years to prev12Years.

You should also add the backTo property, which is used for the new Back to 2016 button when the user enters the Jump Year menu.

CSS changes

Version 3.x uses em instead of px units. This means that the menu determines it's size according to the body element's font-size, instead of having a fixed width of 200px.

If you need to resize the menu, add this rule to your CSS:

/* Makes the Month Picker menu 20% bigger. */
.month-picker {
  font-size: 1.2em;
}

Version 3.x removes:

.month-year-input {
    width: 60px;
}

If you still want the plugin to implicitly resize the input fields it's applied to you must add this rule to your own CSS.

If you explicitly defined a rule that reverts the effects of this rule, it's no longer necessary and it can be deleted.

Markup changes

If you've applied custom CSS to the Month Picker menu, please note that:

The following elements were removed:

<td class="year-container-all">
  <div id="year-container">
   <span class="year-title" />
   <span class="year" />
    </div>

They were replaces by <td class='month-picker-title'><a /></td>. The <a> tag is a jQyery UI Button.

The following elements:

<td class="previous-year"><button /></td>
<td class="next-year"><button /></td>

were replaced by:

<td class="month-picker-next"><a /></td>
<td class="month-picker-previous"><a /></td>
