Thank you for providing clarification.
Unfortunately, Firefox does not support the "Month" and "Week" input types, as outlined in the following resources:

"Time" is supported but behaves differently in FF (E.g. no popup)
If you need to use the "Month" or "Week" input types in your web application and you want to ensure cross-browser compatibility, there are a few alternative ways to implement them in Firefox:
- Use a third-party JavaScript library like jQuery UI datepicker() (
Example)
- Implement a custom UI plugin that mimics the behavior of the "Month" or "Week" input types. This approach requires more development effort but can provide a more tailored user experience.
Here's an example jQuery plugin that allows users to select a year and month from a popup window (generated with ChatGPT)
Code: Select all
(function($) {
$.fn.monthYearPicker = function(options) {
var settings = $.extend({
startYear: new Date().getFullYear() - 100, // default starting year is 100 years ago
endYear: new Date().getFullYear(), // default ending year is the current year
selectedYear: null, // default selected year is null
selectedMonth: null, // default selected month is null
onMonthYearSelected: function(year, month) {} // default callback function
}, options);
var monthNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
var currentYear = settings.selectedYear ? settings.selectedYear : settings.endYear;
var currentMonth = settings.selectedMonth ? settings.selectedMonth : new Date().getMonth();
var $container = $("<div class='month-year-picker-container'></div>");
var $yearDropdown = $("<select class='year-dropdown'></select>");
var $monthDropdown = $("<select class='month-dropdown'></select>");
var $submitButton = $("<button>Submit</button>");
for (var year = settings.startYear; year <= settings.endYear; year++) {
$yearDropdown.append($("<option />").val(year).text(year));
}
for (var month = 0; month < 12; month++) {
$monthDropdown.append($("<option />").val(month).text(monthNames[month]));
}
$yearDropdown.val(currentYear);
$monthDropdown.val(currentMonth);
$submitButton.on("click", function() {
settings.onMonthYearSelected($yearDropdown.val(), $monthDropdown.val());
$container.remove();
});
$container.append($yearDropdown).append($monthDropdown).append($submitButton);
$(this).on("click", function() {
$("body").append($container);
});
return this;
};
})(jQuery);
To use this plugin, you can simply call it on a jQuery object that represents the element you want to attach the popup to. For example:
Code: Select all
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#my-input-element").monthYearPicker({
startYear: 2000,
endYear: 2025,
selectedYear: 2021,
selectedMonth: 4,
onMonthYearSelected: function(year, month) {
console.log("Selected year: " + year);
console.log("Selected month: " + month);
}
});
});
This will attach a popup window to the element with the ID "my-input-element", and allow the user to select a year and month between 2000 and 2025. The default selected year is 2021, and the default selected month is May (since months are zero-indexed, 4 corresponds to May). When the user selects a year and month and clicks the "Submit" button, the onMonthYearSelected callback function will be called with the selected year and month as arguments. In this example, we simply log the selected values to the console, but you can modify the callback function to perform any action you like.
CSS styling to make the plugin look more visually appealing:
Code: Select all
.month-year-picker-container {
position: absolute;
z-index: 9999;
background-color: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0px 2px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
padding: 10px;
}
.year-dropdown, .month-dropdown {
font-size: 16px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 3px;
margin-right: 5px;
}
