Disable Selection Jquery Datepicker Field?

I'm using jQuery UI Datepicker to make a two field submission form. I want the user to create a range and submit it to see results. However, they obviously cannot pick a start date

Solution 1:

  $(function () {
        $("#fromdate").datepicker({
            onClose: function (selectedDate) {
                $("#todate").datepicker("option", "minDate", selectedDate);
            }
        });
        $("#todate").datepicker({
            onClose: function (selectedDate) {
                $("#fromdate").datepicker("option", "maxDate", selectedDate);
            }
        });
    });
