changing minDate option in JQuery DatePicker not working

Question

I have declared a date picker instance as follows:

    $(\"#datePickerId\").datepicker(
    { dateFormat: \'DD, d MM yy\',
      minDate: 0,
      showOn: \'         


        

Answer 1

There is no need to destroy current instance, just refresh.

$('#datepicker')
    .datepicker('option', 'minDate', new Date)
    .datepicker('refresh');
