Get Selected Date From Kendo Datepicker

This blog will explain how to get selected date from Kendo datepicker from the on change event. Let's start with implementing the kendo datepicker using jQuery.
 
Create a new HTML page. In my case I named it as KendoDatepicker.html and write the following code in it
 
KendoDatepicker.html  
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>  
  2. <html>  
  3. <head>  
  4.   <meta charset="utf-8">  
  5.   <title>Untitled</title>  
  6.   
  7.   <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.common.min.css">  
  8.   <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.rtl.min.css">  
  9.   <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.default.min.css">  
  10.   <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/styles/kendo.mobile.all.min.css">  
  11.   
  12.   <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.3.min.js"></script>  
  13.   <script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/js/angular.min.js"></script>  
  14.   <script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/js/jszip.min.js"></script>  
  15.   <script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.2.714/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script></head>  
  16. <body>  
  17.    <div id="example">  
  18.             <div class="demo-section k-content" style="text-align: center;">  
  19.                 <div id="calendar"></div>  
  20.             </div>  
  21.   
  22.             <script>  
  23.                 $("#calendar").kendoCalendar({          
  24.                 });  
  25.             </script>  
  26.         </div>  
  27. </body>  
  28. </html>  
The above code is used to implement the kendo datepicker
