How to get the selection of a jQuery UI Datepicker in a MVC Controller?

Question

I have a MVC3 view with the following code

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#multiInlinePicker').datepick({
        multiSelect: 30, monthsToShow: 3, monthsToStep: 3,
        prevText: 'Prev months', nextText: 'Next months'
    });
   }

 <span id="multiInlinePicker"></span>

I would like to pass the selected dates on the datepick control to the controller. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance Regards Tom

use onselect

$('#multiInlinePicker').datepick({
    multiSelect: 30, monthsToShow: 3, monthsToStep: 3,
    prevText: 'Prev months', 
    nextText: 'Next months',
    onSelect:function(date){ 
        //UPDATED
        $.ajax({
           url: 'url to your controller action',
           data:'selecteddate=' + date,
           type:'post',
           success:function(response){
              alert(reponse);
           }
        })

      }
});

NOTE: these calls your controllers action method everytime the date on datepicker is selected.. so make suure if u need that..

I can use this but I would like to pass the selected dates to the action method of the controller.

then use ajax() which points to the controller action method with a data (i.e date)...inside the onSelect option...
