jQuery UI datepicker: How to change the month names in the drop-down from short to long names?

Question

I need to change the month names from short names to long names in my jQuery UI datepicker.

My properties are:

$.datepicker.regional[\'d

In many places they use the dateFormat to determine which list to use. Unfortunately in this block of code they weren't consistent using it. I made an adjustment to follow their method in _generateMonthYearHeader (around line 8985):

replace

  monthNamesShort[ month ]

with

 (inst.settings.dateFormat.match(/MM/) ? monthNames : monthNamesShort)[ month ]
