title: Setting min date in jQuery datepicker
body: <p>Hi I want to set min date in my jQuery datepicker to (1999-10-25). So I tried the below code it's not working.</p>
  <pre><code>$(function () {
      $('#datepicker').datepicker({
          dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
          showButtonPanel: true,
          changeMonth: true,
          changeYear: true,
          showOn: &quot;button&quot;,
          buttonImage: &quot;images/calendar.gif&quot;,
          buttonImageOnly: true,
          minDate: new Date(1999, 10 - 1, 25),
          maxDate: '+30Y',
          inline: true
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  <p>If I change the min year to above 2002 than it will work fine but if I specify min year less than 2002 (like above example 1999), it will show only up to 2002.<br>
  I am using <code>jquery-1.7.1.min.js</code> and <code>jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.min.js</code>.</p>
