Hi there —
For my purposes, it would be very useful if datepicker had a set of
methods for adding, removing and checking for certain classes to/from/
on the element (the link in the table cell) that represents that
date. Because all of the html for the calendar gets appended and
output every time there is a change in state, this would need to be an
internal behavior of datepicker, and could not be provided by another
plug-in. By the way, if this makes no sense to you, consider that I
am using the plugin inline, not the popup calendar from an input. I
may try to implement something that has a syntax like this as a hack
of the datepicker plugin:
$('div.some-element').datepicker();
var day = new Date();
day = day.setDate(day.getDate()+5);
$('div.some-element').datepicker('method', 'addClass', 'some-class',
day); // the third argument is which "day" we're adding the class to.
$('div.some-element').datepicker('method', 'hasClass', 'some-class',
day); // true
$('div.some-element').datepicker('method', 'removeClass', 'some-
class', day);
$('div.some-element').datepicker('method', 'hasClass', 'some-class',
day); // false
See what I mean?
Thanks,
Chris
