Question

I am using the jQuery datepicker on a text input field and I don’t want to let the user change any of the text in the text input box with the keyboard.

Here’s my code:

$('#rush_needed_by_english').keydown(function() {
  //code to not allow any changes to be made to input field
});

How do I not allow keyboard typing in a text input field using jQuery?

Answer 1

$('#rush_needed_by_english').keydown(function() {
  //code to not allow any changes to be made to input field
  return false;
});
