  • Classic and Modern Modes

    Make the jQuery calendar fit your look and feel by choosing from a traditional or modern layout and design.

    See the jQuery Calendar Type demo

  • Templates

    With templates, you can customize individual calendar cells, including date, month, year and week cells as well as the navigation elements like the header title.

    See the jQuery Calendar Templates demo

  • Disabled Dates

    By default, the jQuery Calendar is enabled and fully interactive. You can prevent date selection by setting a simple disableDates property. Common uses are disabling weekends and holidays. In a more advanced case, you can disable dates already booked in a reservations system.

    See the jQuery Calendar Disable Dates demo

  • Week Column

    You can add the week number, one through 52, to any date or date range with the Week Column feature. The Kendo UI for jQuery Calendar component can show or hide a column responsible for displaying the week number next to each week displayed in the calendar.

    See the jQuery Calendar Week Column demo

  • Multiple Selection

    The jQuery Calendar component doesn’t limit your users to picking one date at a time. It allows multiple modes of multiple selection. Ctrl + click selects individual dates. Shift + click on start and end dates selects a range. Clicking a week column selects that week.

    See the jQuery Selection demo

  • Start View and Navigation Depth

    The Start View Selection Depth feature of the Kendo UI for jQuery Calendar enables you to set the initial view and limit or expand the depth of the calendar to which the user can navigate. You can define how far users can zoom in on a date selection or zoom out of a date by for example narrowing down the selection options to only selecting a year and a month or only a month of a particular year.

  • Globalization

    The jQuery Calendar supports any globalization or localization scenarios. You can also enable RTL mode to display the control’s text and UI elements from left to right.
