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

You can set the range allowed to some invalid range so the user can't select any date:

$("#datepicker").datepicker({minDate:-1,maxDate:-2}).attr('readonly','readonly');
