Trying to use this CalendarPicker source and docs here:

http://bugsvoice.com/applications/bugsVoice/site/test/calendarPickerDemo.jsp

I need to be able to pass the date selected as query string variable of "searchdate" and reload page also updating current date for calendarPicker with querystring date on page reload. This is what I have so far:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
  var calendarPicker = jQuery("#calendarpicker").calendarPicker({
  monthNames:["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"],
  dayNames: ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"],
  years:0,
  months:6,
  days:5,
  showDayArrows:true,
  callback:function(cal) {
     // Simple output to test calendar date change
     jQuery("#output").html("Selected date: " + cal.currentDate.getFullYear()+"-"+cal.currentDate.getMonth()+"-"+cal.currentDate.getDate() );
     // Not working well since it also includes arrows from datepicker as selectors
     jQuery(".calDay").children().click(function() { 
     window.location.href="mysite.com?searchdate="+cal.currentDate.getFullYear()+"-"+cal.currentDate.getMonth()+"-"+cal.currentDate.getDate();
     });
  }
});

Any help greatly appreciated. Can this be done with ajax? I am attempting to update a table of events by datepicker.
