title: jquery datepicker animation options wont work
body: <p>I have a textbox which has JQuery UI DatePicker control registered to it. It works fine but when I try to add animation options, control itself wont work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;head runat="server"&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
      $(document).ready(function() {
          $("#TextBox1").datepicker("option", "showAnim", 'slideDown');
      });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
      &lt;form id="form1" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;div&gt;
          &lt;asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"&gt;&lt;/asp:TextBox&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/form&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Without the options, the picker would at least show itself. Can someone tell me a solution and better, what's happening? 
  Thanks!</p>
