If you re trying to disable the field  without actually disabling it   try setting the onfocus event to this blur      This way  whenever the field gets focus  it automatically loses it

During initialization you have to set to false the option enableOnReadonly which by default is true       datepicker   datepicker       enableOnReadonly  false       Then  you need to make the field readonly      datepicker   prop  readonly   true     See https   bootstrap-datepicker readthedocs io en latest options html enableonreadonly

Sorry  but Eduardos solution did not work for me  At the end  I realized that disabled datepicker is just a read-only textbox  So you should make it read only and destroy the datepicker  Field will be sent to server upon submit   Here is a bit generalized code that takes multiple textboxes and makes them read only  It will strip off the datepickers as well   fields attr  readonly    readonly    fields each function idx  fld        if   fld  hasClass  hasDatepicker                    fld  datepicker  destroy

I came up with another solution that is different than what had been proposed  When the date picker is used  it creates a div similar to a pop-up that is positioned when the input field is clicked on  To remove it  I just set the visibility property of the CSS so that it doesn t show up   if      yourDatepickerSelector   prop  readonly              ui-datepicker-div   css    visibility    hidden       else       ui-datepicker-div   css    visibility    visible         This also seems to post correctly to the server  and should not effect any of the settings associated with it

by making date picker input disabled achieve this but if you want to submit form data then its a problem   so after lot of juggling this seems to me a perfect solution  1 make your HTML input readonly on some condition    lt input class  form-control date-picker  size  16  data-date-format  dd mm yyyy                         th autocomplete  off                         th name  birthDate  th id  birthDate                         type  text  placeholder  dd mm jjjj                         th value     dates format birthDate  dd MM yyyy                            th readonly    client  isDisableForAoicStatus      gt    2  in your js in ready function check for readonly attribute      document  ready function  e                 if      date-picker   attr  readonly       readonly                         birthDate   removeClass  date-picker                             this will stop the calendar pop up invoking when you click on the readonly field also this will not make any problem in submit data  But if you make the field disable this will not allow you to submit value

My final solution   When my app loads I initialize the datepicker as such       selector   datepicker   dateFormat   mm dd yy         I then have a global toggle button that enables disables the datepicker  To disable I do the following       selector   datepicker  option    minDate   -1       selector   datepicker  option    maxDate   -2      To enable I do the following       selector   datepicker  option    minDate   null       selector   datepicker  option    maxDate   null      Thanks everyone

All of the listed solutions give a mediocre user experience or cause issues if you want to re-enable the datepicker with it s settings in-tact  I used a method similar to making a select read-only  which is to disable it but add a hidden field with the same name   Check it   Usage        datepicker   readonlyDatepicker true     makes the datepicker readonly     datepicker   readonlyDatepicker false     makes the datepicker editable again   jQuery function      fn readonlyDatepicker   function  makeReadonly          this  each function               find corresponding hidden field         var name     this  attr  name            var  hidden      input name      name       type  hidden                 if it doesn t exist  create it         if   hidden length     0                hidden       lt input type  hidden  name      name       gt                  hidden insertAfter   this                       if  makeReadonly                hidden val   this  val                   this  unbind  change readonly                  this  attr  disabled   true                     else                this  bind  change readonly   function                     hidden val   this  val                                   this  attr  disabled   false
