I am using the multi picker calendar and I would like to display an alert message when a specific date range is selected. For example when some selects a day in the range Oct 1 - Oct 15 pop up a message that says "These days are not available".

Please let me know if this is possible.

Yes, simply add the alert() call to the action parameter of your agenda. e.g.
Code:
fAddEvent(2007,10,1, "These days are not available", "alert('These days are not available')", "#87ceeb", "dodgerblue");
fAddEvent(2007,10,2, "These days are not available", "alert('These days are not available')", "#87ceeb", "dodgerblue");


But even better way of preventing user from selecting is to set the action to null. e.g.
Code:
fAddEvent(2007,10,1, "These days are not available", null, "#87ceeb", "dodgerblue");

If I use the first example, with the quotes around the alert() call, nothing happens when the date is selected. If I remove the quotes I get an alert, but only when the calendar loads. Then the date has a line through it and is unselectable.

What I'm trying to do is display a message about why the date is unavailable, but I would still like to it to be selectable.

I tried your suggestions on the demos and it worked fine on the fullsized demo, but not on the multipicker. I am trying to do this with the multiselect plugin, so I don't know if that could be my problem.

We just found it's a bug in the multi-select plugin. We'll fix it in the next version, for now you may modify the fAddDate() function in your plugins.js to be as following:
Code:
function fAddDate(y,m,d) {
   var ag=fGetAgenda(y,m,d,false);
   if (fIsSelected(y,m,d)||ag[1]==null) return;
   if (gContainer.fAddListItem) gContainer.fAddListItem(fDateString(y,m,d));
   if (ag[1]) eval(ag[1]);
   if (fAfterSelected) fAfterSelected(y,m,d);   
}

Keep using the fAddEvent() code in the previous post.

I changed to use the new fAddDate function. When I select the date I do get the alert message, but it appears to stay in "mouse click down" mode, so it selects any other cells that are moused over.

It's because the popup interrupts the drag-and-drop process - it's a known issue of IE, Firefox doesn't exhibits such problem.

In your case, please use the following code instead:
Code:
function fAddDate(y,m,d) {
   var ag=fGetAgenda(y,m,d,false);
   if (fIsSelected(y,m,d)||ag[1]==null) return;
   if (gContainer.fAddListItem) gContainer.fAddListItem(fDateString(y,m,d));
   if (ag[1].indexOf("alert")!=-1)
      __lastDrag=null;
   eval(ag[1]);
   if (fAfterSelected) fAfterSelected(y,m,d);
}
