How to use jQuery UI Calendar/Date PIcker for week rather than day?
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
Solution 1:
Inline week picker using jQuery UI DataPicker (requires jQuery UI 1.8+):

if(date >= startDate && date <= endDate)
cssClass = 'ui-datepicker-current-day';
return [true, cssClass];
},
onChangeMonthYear: function(year, month, inst) {
selectCurrentWeek();
}
});
$('.week-picker .ui-datepicker-calendar tr').live('mousemove', function() { $(this).find('td a').addClass('ui-state-hover'); });
$('.week-picker .ui-datepicker-calendar tr').live('mouseleave', function() { $(this).find('td a').removeClass('ui-state-hover'); });
});

Solution 2:
Here is another way at going at it. -Display the week with showWeek. - Define a beforeShow to attach an event handler using live() so the week row is highlighted (including the week number). - Detach the event handler with die() onclose. This is particularly handy when you are using normal datepickers elsewhere in your code.
$( ".week-picker" ).datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
showOtherMonths: true,
selectOtherMonths: true,
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
showWeek: true,
beforeShow: function(dateText, inst) {
// for week highighting
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar tr").live("mousemove", function() {
$(this).find("td a").addClass("ui-state-hover");
$(this).find(".ui-datepicker-week-col").addClass("ui-state-hover");
});
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar tr").live("mouseleave", function() {
$(this).find("td a").removeClass("ui-state-hover");
$(this).find(".ui-datepicker-week-col").removeClass("ui-state-hover");
});
},
onClose: function(dateText, inst) {
var wk = $.datepicker.iso8601Week(new Date(dateText));
if (parseInt(wk) < 10) {
wk = "0" + wk;
}
var year = $("#ui-datepicker-div .ui-datepicker-year :selected").val();
if (isNaN(wk)) {
$(this).val("");
} else {
$(this).val(year + ";" + wk);
}
// disable live listeners so they dont impact other instances
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar tr").die("mousemove");
$(".ui-datepicker-calendar tr").die("mouseleave");
}
});
Solution 3:
I have created a jQuery plugin based on the accepted answer. Get it at https://github.com/Prezent/jquery-weekpicker or through Bower. Example usage:
$('#selector').weekpicker({
startField: '#date-start',
endField: '#date-end'
});
Solution 4:
You need the following dependencies:
- jquery.js
- jquery-ui.min.js
- jquery-ui.css
var startDate;
var endDate;
$('.date-picker').datepicker( {
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
showButtonPanel: true,
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
var date = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
startDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay());
endDate = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() - date.getDay() + 6);
var dateFormat = inst.settings.dateFormat || $.datepicker._defaults.dateFormat;
$('#startDate').text($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, startDate, inst.settings ));
$('#endDate').text($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, endDate, inst.settings ));
$(this).val($.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, startDate, inst.settings ) + " - " + $.datepicker.formatDate( dateFormat, endDate, inst.settings ));
}
});.ui-datepicker-calendar tr:hover {
background-color:#808080;
