<script>

$(function() {

    $( #date ).datepicker({ 

     dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',

     onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {

    // how can i grab the day name of the day, example Monday and alert it out?

    // alert( ? );

     }

    });

The jQueryUI's Datepicker comes with a formatDate function that can do that for you. If you're using a localized version, it'll show the days in that language too.

onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {

  var date = $(this).datepicker('getDate');

  alert($.datepicker.formatDate('DD', date));

}

For more information on localization of on Dapicker's utility functions, have a look at http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/.
