I’m trying to enforce choosing only dates between (today minus a week, today plus a week) but instead getting a datePicker with past dates disabled and unrestricted future dates.

Any idea? (I’m new to jQuery, 2nd day of playing with it…) thanks!

I isolated the code to clearly repro it:

<html>                                                                  
<head>                                                                  
    <title>jquery sample</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="date.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.datePicker.js"></script>
    <link href="datePicker.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
        $(function () {
            $('.date-pick').datePicker({ minDate: '-7D', maxDate: '+7D' }).val(new Date().asString()).trigger('change');
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>                                                                  
    <a href="">Link</a>
    <input name="date1" id="date1" class="date-pick" />
</body>

    The options are different for your current plugin, startDate and endDate and they must be strings, like this:

    $(function () {
  $('.date-pick').datePicker({ 
     startDate : new Date().addDays(-7).asString(), 
     endDate: new Date().addDays(7).asString()
  }).val(new Date().asString()).trigger('change');
});​

    You can give it a try here. The documentation you seemed to have pulled from is for a different plugin, the jQuery UI Datepicker found here.
