just so i'm understanding stuff right. Whats the difference between
your way and my way and how much difference does it make on resources.
I'm guess your saying i should do it this way:
$('#endDate').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy',
beforeShow: function(){
$(this).datepicker("option", { minDate:
$('#startDate').datepicker
('getDate'),
maxDate: $('#startDate').datepicker('getDate') });
}
}).attr('readonly', 'readonly');
doesn't this way use more resources as i have to make an extra call to
$(this)?
