jquery datepicker range (mindate maxdate) is not working

Question

I'm trying to set a range for a jquery datepicker that I have on my form but when I open the form it allows me to select any date.

  <input class="span2 datepicker" name="tw#local#changeRequest#DeliveryDate" type="text" id="dp1">


 <!-- jQuery -->
 <script type="text/javascript" src="<#=tw.system.model.findManagedFileByPath('jquery-1.7.2.min.js', TWManagedFile.Types.Web).url;#>"></script>

 <!-- Datepicker Script -->
 <script type="text/javascript" src="<#=tw.system.model.findManagedFileByPath('bootstrap-datepicker_new.js', TWManagedFile.Types.Web).url;#>"></script>

 <script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function(){

 $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ minDate: -20, maxDate: "+1M +10D" });

 });
 </script>

Answer 1

As far as I know, it should be done like this:

$("#datepicker").datepicker('option', {minDate: <some date>, maxDate: <some date>});

What you are missing is that you should set them using 'option'.
