How do I programmatically change the selected month in JQuery datepicker

I have a jQuery datepicker and I cannot figure out how to programmatically change the month back to the current month. After making a POST request to save the user's dates I need to return the calendar back to the current month. The calendar may be on a different month from the user playing around with different dates. I have tried setting the mindate again but that did not work.

This is not a popup calendar.

You can also use .val() to set the date

$("#datepicker").val(date);

Setting the datepicker back to today

$('#myDatePicker').datepicker('setDate', new Date());

setting just the month back

var date = $('#myDatePicker').datepicker('getDate');

date.setMonth( (new Date()).getMonth() );

$('#myDatePicker').datepicker('setDate', date);

FIDDLE
