beforeShow event not firing on jQueryUI Datepicker

Here’s the solution my team came up with so we don’t have to remember to modify the jQuery files every time there’s an update. Just add this to your own script and include it:

(function ($) {
    $.extend($.datepicker, {

        // Reference the orignal function so we can override it and call it later
        _inlineDatepicker2: $.datepicker._inlineDatepicker,

        // Override the _inlineDatepicker method
        _inlineDatepicker: function (target, inst) {

            // Call the original
            this._inlineDatepicker2(target, inst);

            var beforeShow = $.datepicker._get(inst, 'beforeShow');

            if (beforeShow) {
                beforeShow.apply(target, [target, inst]);
            }
        }
    });
}(jQuery));
