JQuery DatePicker ReadOnly

Question

When I make my datepicker read-only, I see that the user cannot type anything into the text box.

$(\"#datepicker\").attr(\'readonly\', \'readonly\');
         


        

Answer 1

I set the following beforeShow event handler (in the options parameter) to achieve this functionality.

beforeShow: function(i) { if ($(i).attr('readonly')) { return false; } }
