jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDateTimeInput widget is a jQuery datetimeinput that is used for selecting the date or time using a displayed calendar or by using the keyboard.

The open() method is used to opening the popup calendar. It does not accept any parameter and does not return any value.
