It looks like regular JavaScript's Date object already accepts such format, so you can perfectly do this:

var myDate = new Date("Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 2011");

Now, call datepicker.setDate() and you're done:

myDatePicker.datepicker("setDate", myDate);

The datepicker would set the date to the value in the box.

if the box is blank then the value will aways default to the value you mention.

There is a CurrentText Option but I dont know what that does.

Maybe DefaultDate would be the better option?

$(".datepicker").datepicker({ defaultDate: new Date() });
