Answer 1

Speaking ExtJS language, you can use Ext.Date library for manipulation dates. For example:

        Ext.Date.add (new Date(),Ext.Date.DAY,1)

Depending on your code logic, you can modify the default value of date field by several ways:

1) In the item's value configuration:

        {
            ...
            vtype: 'daterange',
            value : Ext.Date.add (new Date(),Ext.Date.DAY,1),
            fromDateField: 'fromdate',
            ...
        }

2) During the component's event. Basically, ExtJS containers have initComponent method which is the most first running, but be sure to set your code after callParent() method in order to access items collection. Example:

initComponent: function() {
            ...
    this.callParent(arguments);
            this.items.getByKey('fromdate').value = Ext.Date.add (new Date(),Ext.Date.DAY,1);
            ...
}

Answer 2

Try this:

new Date().add(Date.DAY, -1);
