Answer 1

Use this code when you setup the plugin

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    selectable: true,
    selectHelper: true,
    select: function(start, end, allDay) {
         // start contains the date you have selected
         // end contains the end date in case you have selected a date range

         alert("Event Start date" + start);
         alert("Event End date" + end);
    }
});

Please note that I have just included the options needed to answer your question. Have also a look at this demo.

For further information refer to the very good made plugin documentation.
