Can the jQuery UI Datepicker be made to disable Saturdays and Sundays (and holidays)?
JavascriptJqueryJquery UiJquery Ui-DatepickerJavascript Problem Overview
I use a datepicker for choosing an appointment day. I already set the date range to be only for the next month. That works fine. I want to exclude Saturdays and Sundays from the available choices. Can this be done? If so, how?

Solution 1 - Javascript
There is the beforeShowDay option, which takes a function to be called for each date, returning true if the date is allowed or false if it is not. From the docs:
beforeShowDay
The function takes a date as a parameter and must return an array with [0] equal to true/false indicating whether or not this date is selectable and 1 equal to a CSS class name(s) or '' for the default presentation. It is called for each day in the datepicker before is it displayed.
Display some national holidays in the datepicker.
$(".selector").datepicker({ beforeShowDay: nationalDays})
natDays = [ [1, 26, 'au'], [2, 6, 'nz'], [3, 17, 'ie'],
[4, 27, 'za'], [5, 25, 'ar'], [6, 6, 'se'],
[7, 4, 'us'], [8, 17, 'id'], [9, 7, 'br'],
[10, 1, 'cn'], [11, 22, 'lb'], [12, 12, 'ke']
];
function nationalDays(date) {
for (i = 0; i < natDays.length; i++) {
if (date.getMonth() == natDays[i][0] - 1
&& date.getDate() == natDays[i][1]) {
return [false, natDays[i][2] + '_day'];
}
}
return [true, ''];
}
One built in function exists, called noWeekends, that prevents the selection of weekend days.
$(".selector").datepicker({ beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends })
To combine the two, you could do something like (assuming the nationalDays function from above):
$(".selector").datepicker({ beforeShowDay: noWeekendsOrHolidays})
function noWeekendsOrHolidays(date) {
var noWeekend = $.datepicker.noWeekends(date);
if (noWeekend[0]) {
return nationalDays(date);
} else {
return noWeekend;
}
}
Update: Note that as of jQuery UI 1.8.19, the beforeShowDay option also accepts an optional third paremeter, a popup tooltip

If you don't want the weekends to appear at all, simply:
CSS
th.ui-datepicker-week-end,
td.ui-datepicker-week-end {
display: none;
}
Solution 3 - Javascript
The datepicker has this functionality built in!
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends
});

These answers were very helpful. Thank you.
My contribution below adds an array where multiple days can return false (we're closed every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). And I bundled the specific dates plus years and the no-weekends functions.
If you want weekends off, add [Saturday], [Sunday] to the closedDays array.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
beforeShowDay: nonWorkingDates,
numberOfMonths: 1,
minDate: '05/01/09',
maxDate: '+2M',
firstDay: 1
});
function nonWorkingDates(date){
var day = date.getDay(), Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, Wednesday = 3, Thursday = 4, Friday = 5, Saturday = 6;
var closedDates = [[7, 29, 2009], [8, 25, 2010]];
var closedDays = [[Monday], [Tuesday]];
for (var i = 0; i < closedDays.length; i++) {
if (day == closedDays[i][0]) {
return [false];
}
}
for (i = 0; i < closedDates.length; i++) {
if (date.getMonth() == closedDates[i][0] - 1 &&
date.getDate() == closedDates[i][1] &&
date.getFullYear() == closedDates[i][2]) {
return [false];
}
}
return [true];
}
});

The solution here that everyone likes seems to very intense... personally I think it's much easier to do something like this:
var holidays = ["12/24/2012", "12/25/2012", "1/1/2013",
"5/27/2013", "7/4/2013", "9/2/2013", "11/28/2013",
"11/29/2013", "12/24/2013", "12/25/2013"];
$( "#requestShipDate" ).datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date){
show = true;
if(date.getDay() == 0 || date.getDay() == 6){show = false;}//No Weekends
for (var i = 0; i < holidays.length; i++) {
if (new Date(holidays[i]).toString() == date.toString()) {show = false;}//No Holidays
}
var display = [show,'',(show)?'':'No Weekends or Holidays'];//With Fancy hover tooltip!
return display;
}
});
This way your dates are human readable. It's not really that different it just makes more sense to me this way.

You can use noWeekends function to disable the weekend selection
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends
});
});
Solution 7 - Javascript
This version of code will make u to get the holiday dates from the sql database and disable the specified date in the UI Datepicker
$(document).ready(function (){
var holiDays = (function () {
var val = null;
$.ajax({
'async': false,
'global': false,
'url': 'getdate.php',
'success': function (data) {
val = data;
}
});
return val;
})();
var natDays = holiDays.split('<1>');
function nationalDays(date) {
var m = date.getMonth();
var d = date.getDate();
var y = date.getFullYear();
for (var i = 0; i ‘ natDays.length-1; i++) {
var myDate = new Date(natDays[i]);
if ((m == (myDate.getMonth())) && (d == (myDate.getDate())) && (y == (myDate.getFullYear())))
{
return [false];
}
}
return [true];
}
function noWeekendsOrHolidays(date) {
var noWeekend = $.datepicker.noWeekends(date);
if (noWeekend[0]) {
return nationalDays(date);
} else {
return noWeekend;
}
}
$(function() {
$("#shipdate").datepicker({
minDate: 0,
dateFormat: 'DD, d MM, yy',
beforeShowDay: noWeekendsOrHolidays,
showOn: 'button',
buttonImage: 'images/calendar.gif',
buttonImageOnly: true
});
});
});
function noWeekendsOrHolidays(date) {
var noWeekend = $.datepicker.noWeekends(date);
if (noWeekend[0]) {
return nationalDays(date);
} else {
return noWeekend;
}
}
$(function() {
$("#shipdate").datepicker({
minDate: 0,
dateFormat: 'DD, d MM, yy',
beforeShowDay: noWeekendsOrHolidays,
showOn: 'button',
buttonImage: 'images/calendar.gif',
buttonImageOnly: true
});
});
});
[php]
$sql="SELECT dates FROM holidaydates";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$chkdate = $_POST['chkdate'];
$str='';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$str .=$row[0].'<1>';
}
echo $str;
[/php]
Happy Coding !!!! :-)

$("#selector").datepicker({ beforeShowDay: highlightDays });
...
var dates = [new Date("1/1/2011"), new Date("1/2/2011")];
function highlightDays(date) {
for (var i = 0; i < dates.length; i++) {
if (date - dates[i] == 0) {
return [true,'', 'TOOLTIP'];
}
}
return [false];
}

In this version, month, day, and year determines which days to block on the calendar.
$(document).ready(function (){
var d = new Date();
var natDays = [[1,1,2009],[1,1,2010],[12,31,2010],[1,19,2009]];
function nationalDays(date) {
var m = date.getMonth();
var d = date.getDate();
var y = date.getFullYear();
for (i = 0; i < natDays.length; i++) {
if ((m == natDays[i][0] - 1) && (d == natDays[i][1]) && (y == natDays[i][2]))
{
return [false];
}
}
return [true];
}
function noWeekendsOrHolidays(date) {
var noWeekend = $.datepicker.noWeekends(date);
if (noWeekend[0]) {
return nationalDays(date);
} else {
return noWeekend;
}
}
$(function() {
$(".datepicker").datepicker({
minDate: new Date(d.getFullYear(), 1 - 1, 1),
maxDate: new Date(d.getFullYear()+1, 11, 31),
hideIfNoPrevNext: true,
beforeShowDay: noWeekendsOrHolidays,
});
});
});

In the latest Bootstrap 3 version (bootstrap-datepicker.js) beforeShowDay expects a result in this format:
{ enabled: false, classes: "class-name", tooltip: "Holiday!" }
Alternatively, if you don't care about the CSS and tooltip then simply return a boolean false to make the date unselectable.
Also, there is no $.datepicker.noWeekends, so you need to do something along the lines of this:
var HOLIDAYS = { // Ontario, Canada holidays
2017: {
1: { 1: "New Year's Day"},
2: { 20: "Family Day" },
4: { 17: "Easter Monday" },
5: { 22: "Victoria Day" },
7: { 1: "Canada Day" },
8: { 7: "Civic Holiday" },
9: { 4: "Labour Day" },
10: { 9: "Thanksgiving" },
12: { 25: "Christmas", 26: "Boxing Day"}
}
};
function filterNonWorkingDays(date) {
// Is it a weekend?
if ([ 0, 6 ].indexOf(date.getDay()) >= 0)
return { enabled: false, classes: "weekend" };
// Is it a holiday?
var h = HOLIDAYS;
$.each(
[ date.getYear() + 1900, date.getMonth() + 1, date.getDate() ],
function (i, x) {
h = h[x];
if (typeof h === "undefined")
return false;
}
);
if (h)
return { enabled: false, classes: "holiday", tooltip: h };
// It's a regular work day.
return { enabled: true };
}
$("#datePicker").datepicker({ beforeShowDay: filterNonWorkingDays });

For Saturday and Sunday You can do something like this
$('#orderdate').datepicker({
daysOfWeekDisabled: [0,6]
});
