Can someone please come up with something better?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Here's a jsFiddle with the code running: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Tobbe/JrkSN/3/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/Tobbe/JrkSN/3/</a></p> <p><strong>EDIT2:</strong> It works until I click on a date, then all the events disappears because the <code>beforeShowDay</code> callback isn't called in that case.
