Question : jquery datepicker make ALL sunday and monday unselectable

Hello,

I have a question as to whether this is possible before I attempt it. I have a client company that provides a service for customers that is not available on sundays or mondays. As a result they would like the datepicker to reflect that by making every monday and sunday unselectable. Is this possible?

the date picker I currently have is used on an asp.net webform with a master page. It appears as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("input[id$='txtDate']").datepicker({ showOtherMonths: true, selectOtherMonths: true, showButtonPanel: true, minDate: 1, dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy' });
});
</script>

Thanks in adaznce

Answer : jquery datepicker make ALL sunday and monday unselectable

Here is a working example. Basically, you apply the beforeShowDay function that will inspect the calendar day. I've built this to look for day = 0 (Sunday) or day = 1 (Monday) and return false for that, otherwise true.
