jQuery: datepicker, auto click /pick a date

I have this:

    <script>
    $(function() {
        $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
         dateFormat : "yy-mm-dd",
          onSelect: function(dateText) {
            $.post('/admin/deals/booking/', 
            { date: dateText }, function(data) {

                if(data != '0')
                {
                    $('input[name=book_date]').val(dateText);
                    $('#results').html(data);
                    $('.current_text').html(dateText);
                    $('.book_deal').removeAttr("disabled");
                }
            });
          }
        });

        $( "#button" ).bind('click', function(){
});
    });
    </script>

I want when pressing on #button it should activate the above #datepicker, like you have clicked on the date and selected date 2012-02-02

How can this be done?

According to the docs, datepicker provides is a setDate method:

$('#datepicker').datepicker('setDate', '2012-02-02')

Instead of

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({---});

write

$( "#button" ).datepicker({---});
