I’ve been using the jQuery UI Calendar / Date Picker with great success over the last couple months. I’ve been given a new requirement to allow for a week to be selected (Sun – Sat) rather than a single day.

Has anyone accomplished this before?

  • highlighting by week rather than day
  • show beginning date and ending date rather than single date in textbox / labels
