title: How do I hide the next/today/previous navigation in jQuery DatePicker and turn off animations?
body: <p>How do I hide the <strong>prev/today/next</strong> navigation in jQuery DatePicker?</p>
  
  <p>I'm happy with just the Month and Year drop down boxes.</p>
  
  <p>Also how do I disable the animations?</p>

  <p>The duration option did the trick at turning off the animations though. </p>
