how to highlight cells in calendar with two different colors, i.e. some cells in RED and the others in GREEN .. using JavaScript
some code
javascript code : that show a calendar when clicking a button, and it is supposed to set date for the calendar but it didn't .!!
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#linkmodelink').live('click', function() {
$('#mydate').datebox('open');
});
$(document).ready(function(){
// $('#thisPageID').live('pagecreate', function(event) {
// Default picker value of Jan 1, 2012
var defaultPickerValue = [2011, 11, 29];
// Make it a date
var presetDate = new Date(defaultPickerValue[0], defaultPickerValue[1], defaultPickerValue[2], 0, 0, 0, 0);
// Get Today
var todaysDate = new Date();
// Length of 1 Day
var lengthOfDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
// Get the difference
var diff = parseInt((((presetDate.getTime() - todaysDate.getTime()) / lengthOfDay)+1)*-1,10);
// Set the origin date
$('#mydate').data('datebox').options.defaultPickerValue = defaultPickerValue;
// Set minDays to disallow anything earlier
$('#mydate').data('datebox').options.minDays = diff;
//});
});
</script>
html code
<input
name="mydate"
id="mydate"
type="date"
pickPageTheme="c"
data-role="datebox"
data-options='{"mode": "calbox", "highDates": ["2011-11-23"] }'>
</div>
<a href="#" id="linkmodelink" data-role="button">show cal</a>
Ok, for a 2 part question, a 2 part answer:
Part 1: yes, the link you found: jQuery mobile calendar with 3-state day colours works very nice, assuming one of the two sets of dates will never be selectable. If you need 2 sets of selectable dates, use the highDates and highDatesAlt options, you can see them here: http://jsfiddle.net/Qve5Z/1/
In order to make them RED/GREEN, you will need to make your own theme swatches, and include them in your site. Themes can be easily produced here: http://jquerymobile.com/themeroller/
Then, set the pickPageOHighButtonTheme and pickPageOAHighButtonTheme options accordingly.
Part 2: Your code sample is actually mostly correct, although maybe more than you really want to do. For this example, I am going to assume you simply want to set the "current picked" date of the calendar. This example will set the date to 2011-11-13. http://jsfiddle.net/Qve5Z/2/
Fwiw, I do believe your code sample would work, if instead of being wrapped in:
$(document).ready( function() { } );
it was wrapped in:
$('html').live('pageinit', function() { });
Keep in mind that that sample does a bit more - namely, it limits the amount of days that actually can be picked - at a glance, from whatever date you preset, to whatever the current date is. If you want that behavior, let me know, I can work up an example that includes that too.
As shown on this site: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0rc4/docs/api/events.html there is an event called 'vmouseover' which stands a 'Normalized event for handling touch or mouseover events'.
That is what you need, a possibility to change something on an event, which is in fact the mouseover (formerly known as hover).
in Jquery 1.7 you could use
$("#yourElement").on("vmouseover", function(event){
$(this).css('color', 'green')
$(this).css('background-color', 'red')
});
Apply this for your different elements in the calender and it should work.

and next time: provide some example code of what you already tried!!
