Avoid changing value of the Textbox field

Question

Hi,
I added the following codes to the relevant Textbox field, and it did assign today value to that field. How to avoid changing value of the relevant Textbox field?

    $(function () {
        $("#tb_valid_from").datepicker({
            autoclose: true,
            todayHighlight: false
        }).datepicker('update', new Date());
    });

Hi @Peter_1985 ,

and it did assign today value to that field. How to avoid changing value of the relevant Textbox field?

According to your code, you are using Bootstrap Datepicker, right?

To assign today value and make the textbox read-only, you could set the date range and add the readonly property for the textbox.

Refer to the following sample: Set the datepicker's startDate and endDate property, limit the datepicker to select today.

<input type="input" class="form-control" id="inputDate" readonly="readonly">   
$('#inputDate').datepicker({  
              autoclose: true,  
              todayHighlight: false,  
              startDate: new Date(),   
              endDate:new Date(),   
}).datepicker("setDate",'now');  

The result is like this (you can also view the result from this link):
