jQuery UI consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using jQuery, CSS, and HTML. jQuery UI is great for building UI interfaces for the webpages. The jQuery UI datepicker selectOtherMonths option is used to check whether the days in other months shown before or after the current month are selectable. The showOtherMonths option is displayed if it’s set to true.

  selectOtherMonths: Boolean
});
