The following example demonstrates the use of $().renderCalendar as introduced by jquery.datePicker.js.
$(function() { // update the firstDayOfWeek when the day of week select changes $('#dow').bind( 'change', function() { Date.firstDayOfWeek = Number(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value); } ); // when the choose date form is submitted grab the chosen month and year // from the select elements and call renderCalendar... $('#chooseDateForm').bind( 'submit', function() { var month = Number(this.month.options[this.month.selectedIndex].value); var year = Number(this.year.options[this.year.selectedIndex].value); $('#calendar-me').renderCalendar({month:month, year:year}); return false; } ); });
