PHP DatePicker Calendar position

How can get the calendar to pop up to the right of the inputs. Right now it is popping up below the chart. As you can see I tried data-date-orientation but it doesn’t work.
Sorry for all the code and I didn’t include it all either, but wanted to make sure you can see what I am trying to do.

    <body>
    <h4>Date Range for Chart</h4>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
    <p>Start Date: <input type="text" name = "start" data-date-orientation="top right" data-provide="datepicker" 
    data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd"></p>
    <p>End Date:   <input type="text" name = "end"   data-date-orientation="top right" data- 
   provide="datepicker" data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd"></p>
    <br>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
    <?php
    $conn = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root', 'diabetes');
    if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {

    exit();
    }
    $times = '';
    $readings = '';
    $start = $_POST["start"];
    $end = $_POST['end'];
    $sql = "SELECT TIME_FORMAT(readtime,'%H:%i') as rtime, reading, readdate,record_type FROM meter 
        WHERE readdate >= '".$start."'

    $result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
    While ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
    $time = $row['rtime'];

I include a screenshot. Have to zoom out to get it all on one screen.

Can you put a live version of the code online somewhere and give us the link?

This might be a JS or CSS problem, not a PHP problem.

I might be blind but I cannot see anywhere in your code that is creating the calendar widget. You are not using <input type=date> so it is not a browser native calendar. I do not see any JS that is making use of data-provide="datepicker"

I am using chart.js to make the chart. It starts at the line

<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>.

I did not include the section that shows the link to my
chart.js file. Sorry about that…

DatePicker is a bootstrap class and again there is a link in the head section to the bootstrap.datepicker.min.js and bootstrap.datepicker.min.css

I maybe should have used a chart.js forum, but I think it is a bootstrap problem.

I will work on getting the code on line.

Well, you are using paragraph’s for some unknown reason.


By default, paragraphs are placed under each other. Also, we do not see your CSS code for these inputs.
You can join the datapicker and previous paragraphs by placing them inside the same

tags.

Therefore, either place all the parts you want inline within the same

tags. Or place them in

tags and use CSS to adjust where they are placed. Hope this helps.

I was able to get it on line at http://ehrenfelds.net/chartjs/mychart2.php

You seem to be missing some css that is supposed to come with the date picker.

This fixed it in my testing:

.datepicker.datepicker-dropdown.dropdown-menu.datepicker-orient-left.datepicker-orient-bottom {
	position: absolute;
}

You were correct once I added the map.css it worked.
Thank you for the help.
