Using Bootstraps Input Field Style with JQuery Functionalities

Question

I'm using Bootstrap and JQuery UI and i seem to have stumbled upon a problem. I styled most of my code in Bootstrap. I was trying to implement a age validation dialog-box "Validation: if a person is less then 18 years of age do something...". I managed to implement that age-checking validation with JQuery. Next, I wanted to make the input-field look like bootstraps input fields, because all of my input-fields in my main form look like the bootstraps input-field. How can i accomplish this?

      $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#age").datepicker({
            onSelect: function(value, ui) {
                var current = new Date().getTime(), 
                    dateSelect = new Date(value).getTime();
                    age = current - dateSelect;
                    ageGet = Math.floor(age / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365.25); // age / ms / sec / min / hour / days in a year
                if(ageGet < 18){
                    less_than_18(ageGet);
                }
            },
            yearRange: '1900:+0d',//base year:current year
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            defaultDate: '-18yr',
        }).attr("readonly", "readonly"); //prevent manual changes


        function less_than_18(theAge){
          $( function() {
            $('<div></div>').dialog({
              modal: true,
              title: "Age Check?",
              open: function () {
                var markup = 'Applicant is not 18 years old. Do you wish to continue?';
                $(this).html(markup);
              },
              buttons: {
                'Confirm': function() {
                   $(this).dialog('close');
                },
                'Change': function() {
                   $('#age').val('');
                   $(this).dialog('close');
                }
              }
            });
          } );  
        }

    });

To have both the look of bootstrap and functionality of the date-picker from JQuery-UI I had to rearrange my reference around.

$(document).ready(function () {
        $("#age").datepicker({
            onSelect: function(value, ui) {
                var current = new Date().getTime(), 
                    dateSelect = new Date(value).getTime();
                    age = current - dateSelect;
                    ageGet = Math.floor(age / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365.25); // age / ms / sec / min / hour / days in a year
                if(ageGet < 18){
                    less_than_18(ageGet);
                }
            },
            yearRange: '1900:+0d',//base year:current year
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            defaultDate: '-18yr',
        }).attr("readonly", "readonly"); //prevent manual changes


        function less_than_18(theAge){
          $( function() {
            $('<div></div>').dialog({
              modal: true,
              title: "Age Check?",
              open: function () {
                var markup = 'Applicant is not 18 years old. Do you wish to continue?';
                $(this).html(markup);
              },
              buttons: {
                'Confirm': function() {
                   $(this).dialog('close');
                },
                'Change': function() {
                   $('#age').val('');
                   $(this).dialog('close');
                }
              }
            });
          } );  
        }

All you have to do is get rid of the jquery UI css and any associated files. Check out my fiddle

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
      <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
      <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<div class="container">
        <div class="form-group">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Select your age" id="age">
        </div> 
    </div>

It doesn't work the way i want it. This removed JQuery's validation functionalities. If you take out `
` and `
` And take out the bootstrap style and scripts. You will see the functionalities i'm talking about.

@taji01 I see what you mean. Take a look at this https://jsfiddle.net/Domt301/hvL5zc0y/ . This does not implement your functionality entirely but it may get you closer. – Leonardo Wildt Apr 04 '17 at 13:04

If you just want the styling from bootstrap form elements, then you can add a custom class to your input and overwrite all its css properties and make it same as bootstrap form components.

$(document).ready(function () {
        $("#age").datepicker({
            onSelect: function(value, ui) {
                var current = new Date().getTime(), 
                    dateSelect = new Date(value).getTime();
                    age = current - dateSelect;
                    ageGet = Math.floor(age / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365.25); // age / ms / sec / min / hour / days in a year
                if(ageGet < 18){
                    less_than_18(ageGet);
                }
            },
            yearRange: '1900:+0d',//base year:current year
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            defaultDate: '-18yr',
        }).attr("readonly", "readonly"); //prevent manual changes


        function less_than_18(theAge){
          $( function() {
            $('<div></div>').dialog({
              modal: true,
              title: "Age Check?",
              open: function () {
                var markup = 'Applicant is not 18 years old. Do you wish to continue?';
                $(this).html(markup);
              },
              buttons: {
                'Confirm': function() {
                   $(this).dialog('close');
                },
                'Change': function() {
                   $('#age').val('');
                   $(this).dialog('close');
                }
              }
            });
          } );  
        }

    });
