JQuery UI DatePicker - Can it handle multiple dates?

Question

I need to display an inline calendar that allows one to click 1 or more dates for selection. Can the JQuery UI datepicker 1.7.1 do this?

Answer 1

There is an extension to the datepicker which allows you to do all-sorts of things including select ranges. It's developed by a third-party and available here:

I've never tried it.

Answer 3

Datepicker in jQuery UI 1.7.1 doesn't allow multiple dates selection, but I just made an extension to that plugin that makes it possible: http://dubrox.blogspot.com/2010/09/multiple-dates-picker-for-jquery-ui.html

Answer 4

@dubrox:

In your plugin, could you please tell me how do you make a callback to know which dates are selected?

Thanks
