init datescroller with value of inputfield not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a datescroller, f.ex:
  $('#date1').scroller({
    preset: 'date',
    dateFormat : 'dd.mm.yyyy',
  });
2. ... and an input field with a predefined value:
  <input type="text" name="date1" id="date1" value="01.01.2011" />

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When clicking into the input field, the scroller inits with the current date, 
not with that from the value of the input field.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v1.5.1 @ ubuntu 10.10 Firefox 3.6.26

Please provide any additional information below.

I attached a sample with a workaround for this special scenario.
Somehow the exception 'Missing number at position x' is thrown.
In function parseDate, inline function getNumber before returning a value, I 
added:
if(size == 4) iFormat += 2;

Well... it does not appear in the documentation, but you must use 'yy' for 4 
digit, and 'y' for 2 digit year format in your dateFormat option, like in the 
jquery UI datepicker. In your case change 'dd.mm.yyyy' to 'dd.mm.yy' and your 
problem is gone.

Ah ok, thanks for the hint!

(Seems to be added to the documentation now.)
