[development] exclusive date selection

[Ken Yiem]

Hi Kate,

You could use the Jquery datepicker to display your calendar.
- print out an array of booked dates
- when calling datepicker, pass in the parameter "beforeShowDay" that
takes in a function  ie.
            $(this).datepicker({
                beforeShow: customRange,
                changeMonth: true,
                changeYear: true,
                beforeShowDay: reservedDays
            });

where "reservedDays" will cycle through your array and return true for
false to enable/disable the date.

To see it in action , check out http://vancouver.rlisting.com/
- you'll need to register and then create a listing
- then add bookings.

cheers

Ideally, the submitting visitor would see available dates on a calendar when filling out the node, or the unavailable dates would be grayed out, etc.... Any experience with this or recommendations?
