following screen shot michael,

i set following,

$( "#datepicker2" ).datepicker("option", "defaultdate", +2);

you can see still 21 day (today) highlighting , 23 bordered black line. need see 23 looks 21 hi lighting. no need highlight 21.

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker("option", "defaultdate", +8);

edit: current date highlighted part of datepicker. there no alternative turn off feature. create clear user "today" is. can override graphical appearance of w/ css:

.ui-datepicker-today a.ui-state-highlight { border-color: #d3d3d3; background: #e6e6e6 url(/themeroller/images/ui-bg_glass_75_e6e6e6_1x400.png) 50% 50% repeat-x;; color: #555555; } .ui-datepicker-today.ui-datepicker-current-day a.ui-state-highlight { border-color: #aaaaaa; background: #ffffff url(images/ui-bg_glass_65_ffffff_1x400.png) 50% 50% repeat-x; color: #212121; }

this assumes you're using default theme - can same practice theme. override styles code above. css incomplete, however. you'll need create overrides other cases, :hover state.
