Datepicker problem

in Using jQuery UI • 4 months ago

I have been using Datepicker as supplied with Coffee Cup Software's Web Form Builder and to date I have successfully amended the code as shown below i.e. minDate: 1 maxDate: 60. (That's quite simple and I can cope with that) but exactly how would I amend the code to exclude weekends? I believe it's to do with code lines 93,94 & 95 - showDay but I can't seem to get a result!

Many Thanks

I have to deal with the weekends when writing code too. I've previously dealt with them by testing them and then adding to the date.

var name = new Date();
if (name.getDay()=='0'){action}

0, of course, being Sunday and "6" is Saturday. I test my date to see if the day is a 0 or 6 then add to the date appropriately. This may not solve your issue but it's food for thought.
