locale attribute

A two-letter ISO 639-1 language code can be provided as shorthand for several of the options listed above. Currently supported languages: en, fr, ja, fi and es. If the locale attribute is used it overrides dayLabels, monthLabels, dateFormat, todayBtnTxt, firstDayOfWeek and sunHighlight properties from the options.

• new locale data can be added to this file.

selDate attribute

Provide the initially chosen date that will display both in the text input field and provide the default for the popped-up selector.

defaultMonth attribute

If selDate is not specified, when the datepicker is opened, it will ordinarily default to selecting the current date. If you would prefer a different year and month to be the default for a freshly chosen date picking operation, specify a [defaultMonth] in the same format as that for the datepicker options (yyyy.mm if not otherwise specified).
