Remove Datepicker Function dynamically

Question

I want to remove datepicker function depending on the dropdownlist selected value. I try the following codes, but it still shows the calendar when I put the cursor in the t

Answer 1

Just bind the datepicker to a class rather than binding it to the id . Remove the class when you want to revoke the datepicker...

$("#ddlSearchType").change(function () { 
  if ($(this).val() == "Required Date" || $(this).val() == "Submitted Date")                   { 
    $("#txtSearch").addClass("mydate");
    $(".mydate").datepicker()
  } else { 
    $("#txtSearch").removeClass("mydate");
  } 
});
