I have a form with an date field with a jquery datepicker attached to it.
When I select the date field the datepicker pops up but then the iPad keyboard slides into view and obscures the datepicker.
How do I prevent the keyboard from popping up in this situation?
I used a slightly modified version of Rob Osborne's solution and it successfully prevented the keyboard from popping up on the iPad and iPhone.
$(".datePicker").datepicker({
showOn: 'button',
onClose: function(dateText, inst)
{
$(this).attr("disabled", false);
},
beforeShow: function(input, inst)
{
$(this).attr("disabled", true);
}
});
