Subject: [jQuery] Re: Datepicker issue
"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"
Hence it's "date picker" and not "date enter-er", it does it's job,
let's the use *pick* a date from a calendar

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..
Thanks though
