ui.datepicker: minDate maxDate

[h3r2on]

These functions are misleading. One would expect that a given minDate would allow that minYear to show up in the select for the year by default, as well as the maxYear. However, by only allowing -+10yrs this makes setting birth dates very unintuitive for users as they must select the drop down multiple times if their year is not with in the original set of dates.

So:

$('#restrictDates').attachDatepicker({minDate: new Date(1983, 1,1), 
    maxDate: new Date(2010, 1, 1)});

should give me a year select that has all the years between 1983 and 2010. I think this would greatly enhance the usability of the plugin.

Just set yearRange as well.

$('#restrictDates').attachDatepicker({minDate: new Date(1983, 1,1),

maxDate: new Date(2010, 1, 1), yearRange: '1983:2010'});
