jQuery UI Datepicker Add Days

Question

I\'m attempting to create something of range system for booking rooms on a hotel website and I\'m using jQuery UI Datepicker to allow the user to select their check in date.

Answer 1

Use the setDate function.

setDate

Signature: .datepicker( "setDate" , date )

Sets the current date for the datepicker. The new date may be a Date object or a string in the current date format (e.g. '01/26/2009'), a number of days from today (e.g. +7) or a string of values and periods ('y' for years, 'm' for months, 'w' for weeks, 'd' for days, e.g. '+1m +7d'), or null to clear the selected date.
