programmatically set the displayed date for a dijit.calendar

By default the dijit.calendar shows the current date / month. Using the visual controls a user can change the view and choose a date. I need to problematically change the displayed date based on other circumstances.

For anyone else who wants to change the "Displayed Date" and not the "Selected Date" of the calendar, you want the currentFocus of the calendar. That is, the selected value could be Jan 1, 2012, but the calendar is currently displaying December.

Try

// display the month of December 2012
widget.set('currentFocus', Date(2012, 11, 24))

You can set the value property, similarly to other widgets

//change the calendar's date to just now:
myCalendar.set('value', new Date() )

//change the calendar's date to Christmas eve
myCalendar.set('value', new Date(2012, 11, 24) )
