Title: Datepicker - disabling single days
Post by: Niels Larsen on August 11, 2010, 07:42:30 AM: Hi

I have played with Datepicker and it's greate!!
The only thing I need to finish my project is the ability to disable single days.
One step could be to implement the uility function noWeekends( )
A small hint would be a great help...

Regards Niels Larsen

loc:options = 'beforeShowDay: jQuery.datepicker.noWeekends'

Adding other individual days, like public holidays and so on is a bit harder. but there's some really useful information on doing this here;

This works for me:
loc:options = CLIP(loc:options) & ',beforeShowDay: jQuery.datepicker.noWeekends'

Now my script to disable individual dates works. But only if I add it as a global script.
I would like to generate it at runtime. Any way to but something above the </head> on a webForm??

Usually means the string is wrong in some way. Be careful deciding whether to add your new options to the existing options, or to create new options. If your string is wrong though, the date lookup fails.

Post by: Bruce on August 12, 2010, 06:24:34 PM: Hi Niels,

it doesn't have to be in the <head> - anywhere on the page is fine.

A form is a control (as is a browse) so it doesn't have a <head> section - the head section is only on the page on which the browse / form is located.

If loc:options is blank before your line (which it may be) then you mustn't add the leading ','.
