If I understand correctly, you would like the input prefilled with
today's date before even opening the calendar, right?
If so, you have to do that yourself. Datepicker only helps pick a date
once opened!
... but you can use it's utility functions to help you do that. For
example:
var input = $('#input_id');
input.datepicker(... set whatever option, define format ...);
// take the format from the input to make sure the date will be
presented the same way as from calendar
var format = input.datepicker('option', 'dateFormat');
// today's date with the right format in a string
var today = $.datepicker.formatDate(format, new Date());
// finally fill the input
input.val(today);
Hope this helps!

I have a form that has a text input field with a datepicker attached.
I want to display today's date automatically without having to
actually go into the datepicker and select it. Sounds simple enough
but I am having difficulty.
Here is the javascript function...
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#jQueryUICalendar1').datepicker({ defaultDate:null });
});
</script>
Here is the HTML portion....
<form name="form_signRequest" id="form_signRequest" class=""
method="GET" action="">
<input type="text" size="15" class="dateInputField"
value=""
id="jQueryUICalendar1" readonly="true"/>
Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance
