[ui.DatePicker] Multiple periods with an attached classname

[graste]

For displaying multiple valid periods of time in the calendar it would be cool, if it's possible to define multiple "minDate" and "maxDate" options. Something like a multi-dimensional array with min-/maxDates could be used, I suppose. Another useful feature for this would be to add a CSS classname to each array element. With that you could highlight specific periods or just color them differently (think in terms of booking systems etc.)

With the above additions a calendar could contain multiple valid periods to either select from or display, while having different colors for each period.

The above date picker lets you add invalid dates in a YYYYMMDD-format with *-wildcards like:

// Disable specific dates 
datePickerCtrl.datePickers["elemid"].setDisabledDates(["20061225", "****1231", "******01"]);

Using such a format could be used to disable specific dates for selection in a very brief form.

You can use the beforeShowDay setting. This is a function that is called for each day shown. It receives the date as a parameter and returns an array with [0] set to true if this date is selectable or false if not, [1] set to one or more CSS classes for this date, [2] (optional) set to a popup tooltip for this date. See the noWeekends function for an example.
