Specify Month And Year For Calendar Pop Up

[artdocent]

Does anyone know if it's possible to specify the month and year of a field that uses the calendar popup?

 

In my submission form, users request a lesson and specify a date and time. The lessons are offered only during a certain time period (which varies depending on the lesson), so I have two cascading dropdown fields that display the start and end dates that the lesson is offered.

 

Instead of clicking through 3-5 months ahead of the current date, I'd like the calendar pop up to start on the month and year that the lesson is offered.

 

Thanks!

I figured it out...

 

using javascript I retrieved the value of the start date and assigned it to the field for the requested date. Then the popup calendar has the correct month and year.

I'm trying to do something a bit similar to what you were....any chance you could post your solution or javascript?  Would love to get a peek at what worked for you and see if it could help me as well?  Thanks!
