Adding dates to next month in SpecialDate calender

[AmadeuMember]

Hello,
Is it possible to add special dates with the SpecialDate calendar not only in the current months but for the forecoming months too. I’m a newby with javascript and I can’t figure out how. I think it should be something like that:

var date1 = new Date();
var date2 = new Date();
var date3 = new Date();
date1.setDate(1/12/2011);
date2.setDate(1512/2011);
date3.setDate(1612/2011);

But, obviously, it’s no working.

Thanks in advance for your attention.
Best regards.

Hi Amadeu,

Thank you for writing us.

The setDate method of the Date object sets the Day part of the Date only.

To add a special date, you can use the following code:

          var date1 = new Date(2011, 11, 20); 
          // Add special dates by invoking the addSpecialDate method.
          $("#jqxWidget").jqxCalendar('addSpecialDate', date1, '', 'Special Date1');

The above code adds a special date which is year: 2011, month: december, day: 20

Hope this helps you.

Please feel free to write us, if you have any additional questions.

Best Regards,

probably 2011, month: November, day: 20

Hi gabrielkolbe,

The date is: year: 2011, month: december, day: 20 because the month number in the Date object starts from 0 to 11, not from 1 to 12 i.e 0 is January, 1 is February, etc.
It was confusing for me, too when I first used the JavaScript’s Date object.
