Disable native datepicker in Google Chrome

If you have misused <input type="date" /> you can probably use:

$('input[type="date"]').attr('type','text');

after they have loaded to turn them into text inputs. You'll need to attach your custom datepicker first:

$('input[type="date"]').datepicker().attr('type','text');

Or you could give them a class:

$('input[type="date"]').addClass('date').attr('type','text');

To hide the arrow:

input::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator{
    display: none;
}

And to hide the prompt:

input[type="date"]::-webkit-input-placeholder{ 
    visibility: hidden !important;
}
