What is the syntax for using anonymous functions (closures) with the jQuery UI datepicker plugin?

To use an anonymous function (closure) with the jQuery UI datepicker plugin, you can use the onSelect option. The onSelect option is a callback function that is called when a date is selected. Here is an example of using an anonymous function with the onSelect option:

$(function() {
  $("#datepicker").datepicker({
    onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
      // Your code here
    }
  });
});

In this example, #datepicker is the ID of the HTML element you want to attach the datepicker to. The onSelect option is set to an anonymous function that takes two arguments: dateText and inst. The dateText argument is the formatted date string, and the inst argument is the instance of the datepicker.

You can replace the comment // Your code here with any code that you want to execute when a date is selected. For example, you might want to update another element on the page with the selected date or perform an AJAX call to retrieve data based on the selected date.
