I’m looking for a calendar solution for rails that will highlight  
individual dates for a bookings model.

Is there any suggested rails plugins that can be used with  
ActiceRecord or is there a nice dhtml/ajax/flash solution that can  
access dates through xml.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Lyn Williams,

This is jQuery-based, and seems to deal more with JSON than XML. That  
said,  
it looks pretty good and it sounds like it could do what you need.
