I'm glad you guys are watching. I was wondering whether my question was
considered trivial by everyone but me.
Turns out it is pretty easy to add a callback. I modified the code in
datePicker.js, as follows.
//Kelvin's code initing datePicker
changeMonth: function(d, e){
_drawingMonth = true;
_draw(_getCalendarDiv(d));
_drawingMonth = false;
// my addition to this func
if (this.callback){
this.callback(d);
//d is a Date object -- the last day of
//the requested month, IIRC
}
},
Now that I notice how brief that changeMonth function is, I suppose it
would be more efficient just to replace it before applying the
datePicker, rather than make changes in the plugin itself:
jQuery.datePicker.changeMonth = function(){
//as above
};
as to the callback:
jQuery.datePicker.callback = function(d)
// get some data for the month containing
// date(object) d
};
