get the week day of date selected from bootstrap datepicker

Question

 <div class="control-group">
 <label class="span4">Required Date <span class="red">*</span></label>
  <div class="input-append date datepick span7 required" name="datetimepicker" id="datetimepicker">
    <span class="add-on"><i class="icon-th icon-calendar"></i></span>
  <input class="span12 form-control required" name="date" id="date"  type="text" placeholder="dd/mm/yyyy" data-format="dd/MM/yyyy" readonly>
</div>

$('#date').change(function(){
  var date = $(this).val();
  alert(date);
});

I dont know what the problem but is but this change event is not working. Maybe the readonly property of input is messing with something. Please help guys.

Updated:

$(document).ready(function() {
    function changeDate(newdate) {
        var date = newdate;
        alert(date);
    }

    $('input#date').change(function() {
        changeDate($(this).val());
    });

    changeDate($('input#date').val());
});

This ought to work.

I am getting the date from bootstrap datepicker. But I dont want the user to type anything so I am making the input field readonly. – Nick Sep 10 '15 at 07:50
change event is only work when user input value change!!so how you put datepicker value in #date – Jack jdeoel Sep 10 '15 at 07:54
Your code will works only once and that time input field will be empty and what will happen if user changes date – Yatin Khullar Sep 10 '15 at 08:08
@DavidJawphan- '$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({ format: 'dd/MM/yyyy', language: 'en' , pickTime: false });' – Nick Sep 10 '15 at 08:09
@YatinKhullar- It is not working even once. Anyway I want it to work every time user changes date – Nick Sep 10 '15 at 08:12
