Question

I’m using the datePicker in the jQuery UI core. I need a date picker that can only pick dates through the past all the way to today.

Is there an easy way to do this? — Note I’m using the UI core, not the DatePicker Plugin.

My jQuery call:

$(function() {
    $(".datepicker").datepicker();
});

You should use the maxDate option when initializing the datepicker:

$( ".datepicker" ).datepicker({ maxDate: '0' });
