Basic use

To use any MDL component, you must include the minified CSS and JavaScript files using standard relative-path references in the <head> section of the page, as described in the MDL Introduction.

To include a MDL date textfield component:

1. Code a <div> element to hold the date text field.

<div>
...
</div>

2. Inside the div, code an <input> element add an id attribute of your choice.

<div>
  <input type="text" id="sample3">
</div>

3. Also inside the div, after the <input> field, code a <label> element with a for attribute whose value matches the input element's id value, and a short string to be used as the field's placeholder text.

<div>
		<input type="text" id="sample3">
        <label for="sample3">Date Example...</label>
</div>

4. Add one or more MDL classes, separated by spaces, to the div container, input field, input label, and error message using the class attribute.

<div class="mdl-date-textfield mdl-js-date-textfield mdl-date-textfield--floating-label">
        <input class="mdl-date-textfield__input" type="text" id="sample3">
        <label class="mdl-date-textfield__label" for="sample3">Date Example...</label>
</div>

The Date field component is ready for use.
