jQuery UI Datepicker enable only specific days in array
$.inArray(dmy, availableDates) returns the index of the element, so when you compare with 1 only 14-5-2011 will match. Check for not equal to -1. Should work.
Fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/yXMKC/4/
var availableDates = ["9-5-2011","14-5-2011","15-5-2011"];function available(date) { dmy = date.getDate() + "-" + (date.getMonth()+1) + "-" + date.getFullYear(); console.log(dmy+' : '+($.inArray(dmy, availableDates))); if ($.inArray(dmy, availableDates) != -1) { return [true, "","Available"]; } else { return [false,"","unAvailable"]; }}
