Style specific dates in jquery ui datepicker plugin

Question

I'm writing an app for reserving training facilities, and I want to be able to let the instructor reserving a facility know when the facility is already reserved for a given date.

I'm using the jquery-UI datepicker plugin, and I want to be able to style the table cells for these reserved dates differently. I just can't figure out how to pass the dates into the plugin so I can change the class for those dates on the calendar.

Answer 1

I would make use of the beforeShowDay event to deal with this.
