A wheel scroller user control optimized for touchscreens to easily enter date and/or time. The control can easily be customized to support any custom values and can even be used as an intuitive alternative to the native select control (dropdown list). It is designed to be used on touch devices as an alternative to the jQuery UI date picker.
The control is themable. You can easily change the appearance of if in CSS. It also comes with pre-defined, nice looking skins (Default, Android, Sense UI and iOS).
By default the control renders for intuitive and easy usage, but you can also customize it's parameters (width, height,...). For more info see the wiki.

Core
- Added: Support for language files. Controlled from 'lang' option. Specify language related default settings and language files.
Core
-
Fixed: 'clickpick' mode worked the same way as 'mixed' in 2.0.2
-
Fixed: 'setValue' was not working correctly.
-
Fixed: Wheels were misaligned on Firefox with ios theme and datetime preset.
Datetime preset
-
Fixed: Time was incorrectly parsed when missing year, month or day wheel.
-
Fixed: Default year value was not set, if outside of startYear and endYear.
Core
-
Added: animation time is now passed to the validation event (useful, if you want an action to happen only when the wheel stops moving)
-
Added: wheel containers have now numbered classes: 'dwwl0', 'dwwl1', 'dwwl2' etc. to allow different styling for each wheel
Select preset
-
Added: 'invalid' option to set certain values unselectable. This option takes precedence over the disabled options in the original html select element.
-
Added: 'label' option to set the label of the wheel. If not present, the label is taken from the original html select element's label, and falls back to the select element's name attribute, if the label doesn't exist
Datetime preset
-
Fixed: 'shortYearCutoff' option was not working correctly. (With '+10' value if 2 digits years were used, 12 was converted to 1912 instead of 2012)
-
Fixed: if day was not present on the wheels (e.g. credit card expration), the date object defaulted to today's date, which resulted in incorrect value, if current month had more days as the selected month
-
Fixed: day names were incorrect, if initial validation changed the month from an invalid value to the nearest valid one
Select preset
- Fixed: 'setValue' and 'getValue' methods overwrote the core methods and were unusable for other presets or custom scrollers
Zepto js plugin
- Fixed: in 'mixed' mode clicking on the +/- buttons caused a short button blink
jQuery Mobile Theme
- Fixed: Button appearance with JQM 1.1.1
-
Fixed: HTML5 min/max attributes propagated to other scrollers
-
Fixed: jQuery Mobile 1.0 compatibility (Issue 95)
-
Fixed: Using values like "1.0", "2.0", etc. on custom wheels caused incorrect behavior because they were converted to numbers and became 1, 2, etc.
-
Fixed: fast scrolling caused value loss, if validation changed another wheel value with animation
-
Fixed: when element was created for 3d testing: document.createElement(mod) - mod was undefined
-
Fixed: setValue and getValue was not working correctly with the select preset
-
Fixed: timeWheels option did not modify the order of the wheels
-
Fixed: setValue / setDate methods did not animate the scroller if time was specified
-
Fixed: In some cases date validation scrolled the day wheel to empty value
-
Fixed: Datetime preset's setDate and getDate methods were using last created instance's resources
-
Fixed: Select options were reordered, if values were numbers
-
Fixed: When using option method to change options on the fly, preset and theme defaults overrode user settings
-
Fixed: In clickpick mode minus button had plus button behavior
-
Fixed: In inline mode getValue always returned the initial values
-
Fixed: min/max attributes were incorrectly parsed when using HTML5 time input
-
Added: invalid option for the datetime preset to set dates unselectable. There are three properties to specify dates, all can be used separate or combined. dates is be an array of dates to disable exact dates on the scroller. daysOfWeek is an array with values from 0 to 6, daysOfMonth is an array which accepts numbers (e.g. every month's 2nd day) or a string in 'x/y' format (e.g. 12/24 means every year's 24th December is disabled). A sample configuration: invalid: { dates: [new Date(2012,5,4), new Date(2012,5,13)], daysOfWeek: [0, 6], daysOfMonth: ['5/1', '12/24', '12/25'] }
-
Added: The select preset automatically disables elements on the scroller if they were disabled in the original html select element
-
Removed: ampm option is now removed, see the new timeWheels option instead
-
Removed: seconds option is now removed, see the new timeWheels option instead
-
Changed: preset option no longer defaults to 'date', it must be explicitly specified!
-
Changed: wheels option no defaults to empty array ([]) instead of null
-
Changed: valid scroller items now have the class "dw-v" instead of "valid"
-
Changed: in 2.0rc1 days not in month were styled as disabled, like items out of the min/max range. From now on days not in month now have the class "dw-h" which, by default has a hidden style in css.
-
Fixed: Inline mode bug with jQuery Mobile, if it was not on the initial page
-
Fixed: Select preset was not working in inline mode
-
Added: headerText can accept a function, which must return a string
-
Added: Day of week can be displayed on the scrollers. Use 'D' (short names) or 'DD' (long names) in the dateOrder options. Sample dateOrder value: 'mmD ddy' will produce '05', 'Thu 03', '2012' on the day, month and year wheels.
-
Added: separator option used by the datetime preset to specify the separator between date and time parts. Default is ' '.
-
Added: readonly option, if true, the scroller appears, but cannot be scrolled. Useful if you want to display a nice clock.
-
Added: timeWheels option to show, hide, and format the time related wheels on the scroller. Default is 'hhiiA'. For the hour wheel use 'h', 'hh', 'H', 'HH', for minutes wheel 'i' or 'ii', for seconds wheel 's' or 'ss', for am/pm wheel 'A' or 'a'. E.g. for 24 hour time format with seconds and leading zeroes use 'HHiiss'.
-
Added: support for HTML5 date/datetime/datetime-local/month/time input types. If mobiscroll is attached to such an input, the format is forced to follow standards specifications. In the popup header the value is formatted according to the date and timeformat specified by the user.
Mobiscroll has now a modular structure. The core contains the wheel generation and scrolling logic. The core can be extended by presets. Presets are basically a collection of predefined settings, which are passed to the core, but may contain other initialization logic, which is executed when the scroller instance is created.
Currently you can include the 'date', 'time', 'datetime' and 'select' presets.
Themes are now also modular, css styles are in separate files for each theme. Themes may have an optional javascript file, where default settings can be set, and an optional init function as well.
-

Fixed: In custom events this refers to the original HTML DOM element instead of the settings object
-
Changed: The visibility of year, month and day wheels is now controlled by dateOrder option, e.g. use 'mmyy' to display month and year wheels only
-
Added: display option, which can be 'inline' or 'modal' (default)
-
Added: headerText option to specify a custom string which appears in the popup header. If the string contains '{value}' substring, it is replaced with the formatted value of the scroller. If headerText is set to false, the header is hidden.

-
Fixed: Tap & hold changes the value on a 300ms interval instead of 200ms (for slower devices)
