jquery ui datepicker - need a draggable date version

Question

The jquery UI datepicker functionality is great, but I'd like to replicate the google analytics style date picker where you can select a range of dates by dragging from start to end. I don't think the datepicker can do this, nor the excellent filamentgroup range picker.

Anyone done this before and have either some mods to jquery ui datepicker or some other reference for me to consider?

Thanks

Answer 1

I know this thread is old and that this solution isn't JQuery-UI specific but if someone comes looking for quick search then suggest taking a look at Date Range Picker

Answer 2

I've been searching for a jQuery plugin that supports selecting a range of dates.

Amazingly, the only one I found is for Prototype:

The author's words sums up my problem with other existing "solutions":

I’m just sick of multiple date pickers on the same page.

If anyone knows of a jQuery plugin, please post an answer!

Answer 3

Take a look at the fullcalendar plugin, it has a lot of the functionality you're interested in, including some great-looking drag and drop support.
