[jQuery] date picker with past dates

[macsig]

HI guys,
I would like to know if there is a better way to force to pick up a
date in the past than the code below:

   $j('.date-pick').dpSetStartDate('01/01/2000');
   $j('.date-pick').dpSetEndDate(new Date().asString());

For my needs Jenuary First, 2000 is more than enough but if there was
a way to define all the date in the past without a starting one was
better.


Thanks and have a nice day!
