jQuery datepicker to prevent past date

Question

How do I disable past dates on jQuery datepicker  I looked for options but don t seem to find anything that indicates the ability to disable past dates    UPDATE  Thanks yall for the quick response  I tried that with no luck  Days were still not grayed out as I expected and still accept the selected past date    I tried this       datepicker   datepicker   minDate   0        Doesn t work   I tried this       datepicker   datepicker   minDate  new Date         Still doesn t work either    It displays the calendar widget just fine  It just won t gray out or prevent input of past days  I ve attempted the minDate and maxDate in the past with no luck so I figured it must not be them

Make sure you put multiple properties in the same line  since you only showed 1 line of code  you may have had the same problem I did    Mine would set the default date  but didn t gray out old dates  This doesn t work       date end   datepicker   defaultDate   31        date end   datepicker   minDate  1      This does both       date end   datepicker   defaultDate   31  minDate  1      1 and  1 work the same  or 0 and  0 in your case    Me   Windows 7 x64  Rails 3 2 3  Ruby 1 9 3

You just need to specify a minimum date - setting it to 0 means that the minimum date is 0 days from today i e  today  You could pass the string  0d  instead  the default unit is days      function              date   datepicker   minDate  0

If you are dealing with a previously bound date picker then setting      datepicker   datepicker   minDate  0       will not work  That syntax is applicable only when you are creating the widget   To set min date for a bound date picker use the following       datePicker   datepicker  option    minDate   0
