Question

I\'m using the jQuery datepicker plugin on a site I am building. I need users to be able to pick two dates from within a specified range of dates. This is straightforward en

OK, I finally figured this out. I initially define and use the datepicker as normal. When I need to dynamically update it, I use:

$.getScript('url.php', function() {updateDate(); });

In my case, I use this on change of a select box.

The php file that is called queries a mysql database outputs the following (using echo):

function updateDate() {
        $( "#dateStartMainChartSelect" ).datepicker('change',{ 
            minDate: new Date(2011,01,01),
            maxDate: new Date(2011,02,01)
        });
    }

You can add any of the datepicker options here that you want to change. Thanks to JasCav, I ended up looking in the right places for the solution.
