Please, give us possibility not to use z-index for datepicker

In some cases it is much better to use CSS to set datepicker's z-index than calculate it basing on input's parents z-index.

For example, one page has a header with date inputs (with no z-index and no need to set position style) and other controls located below which have z-index set. For previous versions of the control it was easy to handle this issue just by writing one line in CSS file:

  1. .ui-datepicker { z-index : 1000 ; }
Proposed solution is to add two lines to the source code:
  1. var ignoreZIndex = $.datepicker._get(inst, ' ignore ZIndex ');
  2. if ( ignore ZIndex)
  3. inst.dpDiv.zIndex($(input).zIndex()+1);

This will improve datepicker's flexibility.
