google chrome - HTML 5 Input type='date' disable keyboard input

Question

I am working on a Chrome Packaged App so my code should only work in Chrome.

I have the following input

<input type="date" />

On Chrome this automatically adds a DatePicker. I would like to only keep this Datepicker and disable the input by keyboard.

Is this possible?

EDIT:

The accepted answer works. Just be wary of this

You cant use inline scripts in a packaged app.

Answer 1

You can use onkeydown and prevent user from entering the value.

<input type="date" onkeydown="return false" />
