Can you please show me how to enable range in jquery ui datepicker, I want to determine range in the format: from 2012-12-10 to 2012-12-20 etc (yy-mm-dd, already specified). All other dates should not be available.

Appreciate the help I can get, cheers!

• 1 Have you looked at the [documentation](api.jqueryui./datepicker/), there is even a demo on how to do that. – Jack Commented Nov 23, 2012 at 14:14

try this:

function setInterval(){
$(function() {
    $( "#startDate" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+1w",
        onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
            $( "#endDate" ).datepicker( "option", "minDate", selectedDate );
        }
    });
    $( "#endDate" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+1w",
        onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
            $( "#startDate" ).datepicker( "option", "maxDate", selectedDate );
        }
    });
});
}

where

startDate  
endDate

are the two input fields of datepicker

Try something like:

jQuery("#date").datepicker({
    beforeShow: function() {
        return {
            dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
            minDate: '2012-12-10',
            maxDate: '2012-12-20',
        }
    }
});

Use maxDate and minDate options when creating.

Code:

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ minDate: value1, maxDate: value2 });

The previous answer is correct, example:

$(function() {
    $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ minDate: new Date(2012, 12, 10), maxDate: new Date(2012, 12, 20) });
});
