How to setup default date for jQuery inline datePicker?

Question

I'm using this jQuery inline datePicker plugin sample but I don't know how to set up default date selected. Do you have any idea?

Answer 1

$('.date-pick').datePicker({
    defaultDate: $.datepicker.parseDate("d m y", "31 8 2009")
})

Answer 2

You will need to use the dpSetSelected method . I've added that into the code from the example page below:

$(function()
{
    $('.turn-me-into-datepicker')
        .datePicker({inline:true})
        .dpSetSelected('01/04/2010') // The string should be in Date.format
        .bind(
            'dateSelected',
            function(e, selectedDate, $td)
            {
                console.log('You selected ' + selectedDate);
            }
        );
});

As mentioned, if you have changed Date.format then you will need to ensure that the string is in the format you changed it to.
