add min date to datePicker

add min date to datePicker

Hi

I have the following code which pulls up my datepicker calendar just fine in my form, but can't seem to find where I'd put "minDate:0" so that the control will prohibit a date selection of less than today. Any ideas? I'm relatively new to jquery, I really appreciate your patience.

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// this will apply the datepicker to any input that contains a class of 'calendar'
$('input[class*="calendar"]').datepicker();
});
</script>
