>>>>>>>>Hi,

The in-active dates on my calendar do not show. That is, if I am looking at December 2013 I see no numbers in the January 2014 week for this month. Even in the non-demo version - plain datepicker - the in-active dates do not show at all. And in all demoes the in-active dates are shown in gray/disabled font.

I see that this variable, showOtherMonths, is defined in jQuery javascript but I prefer not to customize it there.
