1) Yes, you could modify the date picker code to disable weekends, the date piccek code will look like:
$(function(){
$('#datepicker_1').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy',
showAnim: 'show',
onClose: closeDatePicker_datepicker_1
});
});
change it to:
$(function(){
$('#datepicker_1').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy',
showAnim: 'show',
onClose: closeDatePicker_datepicker_1,
beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends
});
});
