Jquery Date picker Default Date

I am using a Jquery Datepicker in my project. The problem is that it is not loading the current date, but showing a date 1st January 2001 as default. Can you please let me know how the default date can be corrected so it will display the current date.

interesting, datepicker default date is current date as I found,

but you can set date by

$("#yourinput").datepicker( "setDate" , "7/11/2011" );

don't forget to check you system date :)

Use the defaultDate option

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ defaultDate: '01/01/01' });

If you change your date format, make sure to change the input into defaultDate (e.g. '01-01-2001')

While the defaultDate does not set the widget. What is needed is something like:

$(".datepicker").datepicker({
    showButtonPanel: true,
    numberOfMonths: 2

});

$(".datepicker[value='']").datepicker("setDate", "-0d");

i suspect that your default date format is different than the scripts default settigns. test your script with the 'dateformat' option

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ 
    dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'
});

instead of dd-mm-yy, your desired format
