UI 1.8 Date Picker: parseDate() error

UI 1.8 Date Picker: parseDate() error

Hello All,

I am using the jQuery UI Date Picker and our client is having a very particular issue. We are formatting dates with the mask 'mm/dd/yy' and are running into an issue when typing the date '11/01/2008'. 

After typing '11/01/2' the date picker decides that this is enough to create a date and updates the date picker to '11/01/2002'. It also removes the date from the text field.

It seems that the internal method _doKeyUp() is calling parseDate() and parseDate() is causing the partial string to become a full date.

Thanks in advance for the help.

James
