Destroy the datepicker s instance when you don t want it and create new instance whenever necessary   I know this is ugly but only this seems to be working      Check this out       ddlSearchType   change function              if    this  val       Required Date       this  val       Submitted Date                         txtSearch   datepicker                          else                       txtSearch   datepicker  destroy

You can try the enable disable methods instead of using the option method       txtSearch   datepicker  enable        txtSearch   datepicker  disable      This disables the entire textbox  So may be you can use datepicker destroy   instead      document  ready function             ddlSearchType   change function             if    this  val       Required Date       this  val       Submitted Date                     txtSearch   datepicker                      else                   txtSearch   datepicker  destroy                     change          Demo here

This is the solution I use  It has more lines but it will only create the datepicker once       txtSearch   datepicker       constrainInput false      beforeShow  function            var t       ddlSearchType   val            if    Required Date    Submitted Date   indexOf t                      txtSearch   prop  readonly   false               return false                    else     txtSearch   prop  readonly   true               The datepicker will not show unless the value of ddlSearchType is either  Required Date  or  Submitted Date

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

what about using the official API     According to the API doc      DESTROY  Removes the datepicker functionality completely  This will return the element back to its pre-init state    Use       txtSearch   datepicker  destroy     to restore the input to its normal behaviour and      txtSearch   datepicker   options       again to show the datapicker again
