Style specific dates in jquery ui datepicker plugin

Question

I am writing an application for reserving training objects, and I want the instructor to leave the object and know when the object is already reserved for a certain date.

I am using the jqery-UI datepicker plugin and I want to style the table cells differently for these reserved dates. I just can't figure out how to pass dates to the plugin so that I can change the class for these dates in the calendar.

Answer 1

I would use the beforeShowDay event to handle this.
