Description
Datepicker's scroll-by-week feature can confuse user into selecting wrong date. See the attached image file; is the highlighted date Sept 30 or Oct 30?
Problem is that the top of the widget says "October" but actually half of October and half of another month are displayed. It's unclear whether October is the top half or the bottom half. If we are going to display two months at the same time we need to print the name of both months or do something else to disambiguate.

displaying october but caption says september

As per our IRC chat, the comment above doesn't really make sense; it's still possible to show, for example, 15 days of one month and 15 days of another. Just for a record I attached Picture 2.png to show how the current code can confuse users. It's displaying the month of October (plus a few days before and after October), but the caption says September.

Calendar in dijit 0.9 doesn't have scroll by week feature.
Just an update on this... that picture is no longer possible because DatePicker? uses the firstSaturday test to determine the month, so... you will never have more than 6 days of the previous month showing...
