Dates in the past selectable with Date.format set to dd mmm yyyy

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I can get the calender to allow dates in the past to be selectable but not in 
the date format I require. What do I need to do to get the format dd mmm yyyy 
showing for dates in the past, The code I am using from your sample is:

$(function()
{
    $('.date-pick').datePicker({startDate:'01/01/1996'});
});

I am using version 2.

You need to set the startDate in the same format as you set Date.format to... 
e.g. startDate: '01 Jan 1996'

Hi,

When I change the code as you have suggested the calendar button does not
show.

$(function()
{
    $('.date-pick').datePicker({startDate:'01 Jan 1996'});
});

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Now sorted it by doing what you suggested and adding:

Date.firstDayOfWeek = 0;
Date.format = 'dd mmm yyyy';

Many thanks.
