Hi
I've been searching for a way to do this, but could not find anything

I want to have a:

  • a disabled input text field, called #XX. This input will store the selected value from datepicker (as this input is disabled I won't be able to use this to trigger the datePicker)

  • A button, besides #XX. When user clicks this button, datePicker will show. User will select the date, and this date will be assigned to disabled input #XX.

I want this so user can't change manually -by typing crap- the selected date

Also, should I validate if date was entered using #XX.val()? or is there a better way?

Thanks
