See available dates in datepicker jQuery

Question

I would like to use this date picker:

http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/

But I want to mark dates based on a database query. So if I click on the date picker I can see the days that are not used and thus red coloured, and not click-able.

Answer 1

You must implement a function which knows about the locked dates. This function is registered with beforeShowDay. Since you need to run this JavaScript client side you will most likely produce an array of available/blocked days and have the JS function use it - this is faster than doing a server round trip in that callback.
