Replicating Google Analytics DateRange picker

Question

I need to replicate the Google Analytics date picker (plus a few new options). Can anyone tell me how to highlight all the cells on a calendar between two dates. My basic JavaScript is OK but I think I'm getting a bit out of my depth.

I'm using JQuery 1.5.1 and JQuery UI 1.8.14.

In needed to replicate Google Analytics date picker as well. I know you were asking just about highlighting cells, but if someone else would prefer complete solution, you can see my answer from another question: jquery google analytics datepicker
