How to disable Bootstrap datetimepicker

Question

I am using the Bootstrap datatimepicker ( https://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/ ). I'd like to disable the datetimepicker on page load.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
        defaultDate: new Date(),
        format: 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss A'
    });
});

<div class='input-group date' id='datetimepicker1'>
    <input type='text' class="form-control" />
    <span class="input-group-addon">
        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
    </span>
</div>

I have tried $('#datetimepicker1').prop('disabled', true) and $('#datetimepicker1').disable() from ( http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/Functions/#disable ). Neither work. So what is the best way to do it?

Answer 1

try the following code $('#datetimepicker1 > .form-control').prop('disabled', true); please check the link https://jsfiddle.net/komal10041992/DTcHh/32829/

You were close to solution, you have to use disable() , but you have to remember that, as docs says:

Note All functions are accessed via the data attribute eg $('#datetimepicker').data("DateTimePicker").FUNCTION()

So you have to add .data("DateTimePicker") to your $('#datetimepicker1').disable() .

Here a working sample:

 $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({ defaultDate: new Date(), format: 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss A' }); //To Disable use disable() function $('#datetimepicker1').data("DateTimePicker").disable(); //To Enable use enable() function //$('#datetimepicker1').data("DateTimePicker").enable();

 $(document).ready(function () { $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({ defaultDate: new Date(), format: 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss A' }).find("input:first").prop("disabled", true); });
