Use setDate.

$('...').datepicker('setDate', date object);

I made code $(document).ready(function(){ $("#datepicker").datepicker({ onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { window.open("?action=news_archive&date=" + dateText + "&lang=<?=$lang?>"); } } ); });

you can use the before show function of the date field to call a location.

$('input.dateSelect').datepicker();

then have a button that follows the input

<a href="javascript:;" title="get the new from this date!" onclick="[[call to js function]]">[ get news ]</a>

javascript function

... window.location.href = "www.foo.com/news.php?date="+$('.dateSelect').val(); ...

There is one of several ways to skin this cat, and not necessarily the best.

I hope this helps someone else with the same issues!
