Yeah, I was wanting to avoid the need to write a function......or freezing the textbox.....to me it seems wierd or inconsistant that the datepicker won't allow you to pick a date beyond the maxDate, but you can enter it manually and nothing happens (it should revert back to the maxDate)......
anyways all good, I guess I'll have to add that functionality myself..
