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

      beforeShow: function(el) {
            if ( el.getAttribute("readonly") !== null ) {
                if ( (el.value == null) || (el.value == '') ) {
                    $(el).datepicker( "option", "minDate", +1 );
                    $(el).datepicker( "option", "maxDate", -1 );
                } else {
                    $(el).datepicker( "option", "minDate", el.value );
                    $(el).datepicker( "option", "maxDate", el.value );
                }
            }
        },
