-
Classic and Modern Modes
Make the jQuery calendar fit your look and feel by choosing from a traditional or modern layout and design.
-
Templates
With templates, you can customize individual calendar cells, including date, month, year and week cells as well as the navigation elements like the header title.
-
Disabled Dates
By default, the jQuery Calendar is enabled and fully interactive. You can prevent date selection by setting a simple disableDates property. Common uses are disabling weekends and holidays. In a more advanced case, you can disable dates already booked in a reservations system.
-
Week Column
You can add the week number, one through 52, to any date or date range with the Week Column feature. The Kendo UI for jQuery Calendar component can show or hide a column responsible for displaying the week number next to each week displayed in the calendar.
-
Multiple Selection
The jQuery Calendar component doesn’t limit your users to picking one date at a time. It allows multiple modes of multiple selection. Ctrl + click selects individual dates. Shift + click on start and end dates selects a range. Clicking a week column selects that week.
-
Start View and Navigation Depth
The Start View Selection Depth feature of the Kendo UI for jQuery Calendar enables you to set the initial view and limit or expand the depth of the calendar to which the user can navigate. You can define how far users can zoom in on a date selection or zoom out of a date by for example narrowing down the selection options to only selecting a year and a month or only a month of a particular year.
