Sorry for the delay in our response.</p> <p>I took a look at the page, and I see a different JavaScript error now:</p> <pre><code>Timestamp: 11/7/2012 10:35:35 AM Error: SyntaxError: missing } in XML expression Source File: <a href="http://financedhomes.ca/wp-content/themes/parallelus-salutation/assets/js/date_restriction.js?ver=3.4.1" rel="nofollow">http://financedhomes.ca/wp-content/themes/parallelus-salutation/assets/js/date_restriction.js?ver=3.4.1</a> Line: 3, Column: 18 Source Code: beforeShowDay: function(date) {</code></pre> <p>When including JavaScript in an external file as you have correctly done here, you do not need the beginning and ending script tags. Edit date_restriction.js so that it contains just this:</p> <pre><code>[js] jQuery(&quot;#datepicker&quot;).datepicker({ beforeShowDay: function(date) { var day = date.getDay(); return [(day != 0 &amp;&amp; day != 1 &amp;&amp; day != 3 &amp;&amp; day != 5)]; } });</code></pre> <p>After that, I think you will have accomplished part one (including the file properly.) Then we need to make sure the function you wrote works as expected. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-picker-excluding-todays-date#post-86702 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:43:15 +0000 dcstover1 86702@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hopefully i can get it to work!

Added the code to the functions.php file of my theme, the js/ folder was found under my theme's assets file, so i tried using the code you provided, then i tried it with using 'assets/js/date_restriction.js'. </p> <p>Still nothing works...i even tried simply adding the date restriction code to my themes "custom javascript" section. Of course this would affect all my forms, but it still didn't work. </p>
