Jquery UI Datepicker - How to highlight multiple date bgcolor with jquery/javascript

Question

I know, lot of questions also in Stackoverflow. But did'nt get a working answer. Anyone can help me to solve this problem?

I want to highlight multiple date of current month. Eg: 02 March 2017, 10 March 2017, 25 March 2017.

My code:

  $( function() { $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(); } ); 

 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> <div id="datepicker"></div> 

Answer 1

You need to use library MultiDatesPicker v1.6.3 for jQuery UI

Answer 2

You can handle it using beforeShowDay event, Here is the reference

Following the code example:

  $(function() { $("#datepicker").datepicker({ beforeShowDay: function(d) { var a = new Date(2017, 2, 10); // April 10, 2012 var b = new Date(2017, 2, 20); // April 20, 2012 return [true, a <= d && d <= b ? "my-class" : ""]; } }); }); 

 .my-class { background: red; } .my-class a { background: lime !important; } 

 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> <div id="datepicker"></div> 

Answer 3

Yes. I got the answer. Here is the working solution.

 var dates = ['03/02/2017', '03/10/2017', '03/25/2017']; $('#datepicker').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy', //defaultDate: new Date('03/10/2017'), // this line is for testing beforeShowDay: highlightDays }); function highlightDays(date) { for (var i = 0; i < dates.length; i++) { if (new Date(dates[i]).toString() == date.toString()) { return [true, 'highlight']; } } return [true, '']; } 

 td.highlight > a { background: #E50104!important; color: #fff!important; } 

 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> <div id="datepicker"></div>
