jQuery: enabling/disabling datepicker

$("#from").datepicker('disable'); should work, but you can also try this:

$( "#from" ).datepicker( "option", "disabled", true );

Also set the field to disabled when you disable the datePicker e.g

$("input").prop('disabled', true);

To stop the image being clickable you could unbind the click event on that

$('img#<id or class ref>').unbind('click');

try

$("#from").datepicker().datepicker('disable');

simply use the following code

$("#from").datepicker({
 showOn: "off"
});

it will not show the display of datepicker


$("#nicIssuedDate").prop('disabled', true);

This is works 100% with bootstrap Datepicker
