jQuery Datepicker - Dynamically change selectable dates

Question

I am using the jQuery datepicker and I currently have this code:

$("#dateObj").datepicker({
    beforeShowDay: findDateAvailable
});

where findDateAvailable is a function which checks if the date is in an array and if not, makes the date not selectable.

My question is: how do I change which dates are 'active' and can be selected without changing my array and then re-creating the datepicker object?

You can use the refresh method of the datepicker widget.

Redraw the date picker, after having made some external modifications. This method does not accept any arguments.

You can use it in your script by using:

$("#dateObj").datepicker("refresh");
