How to set Date in JQuery?

Using JQuery, I want to load startDate in DatePicker.

$('#myId').datepicker({ minDate: '-100D', maxDate: '+145D', startDate: new Date(2011,0,4) });

where myId is an input field. MinDate, maxDate both are working fine but startDate is not working. Currently, it is showing today's date.

You are looking for defaultDate, and this is actually jQuery UI, not just jQuery.

Example:

$('#myId').datepicker({ minDate: '-100D', maxDate: '+145D', defaultDate: new Date(2011,0,4) });

The property yo uare trying to set is actually called 'defaultDate' not 'startDate'. Also, keep in mind, that 'defaultDate' should be in range (minDate, maxDate).

It doesn't look like startDate is an option for the jqueryUI date picker: Datepicker (Click options tab). I think you want defaultDate
