Answer 2

$( ".datepicker").datepicker({
    onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { 
        updateAb(dateText);
    }
});

Even more simply, if you do want the dateText and inst parameters to be passed to updateAb

$( ".datepicker").datepicker({onSelect: updateAb});

$( ".datepicker").datepicker({
       onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
          updateAb(dateText, inst);
       }
});

In short

$( ".datepicker").datepicker({
    onSelect: updateAb
});
