Datepicker default date Today

[Illya Stepanov]

John -- try this code:
pre
var dateElement = Appery("date");
var date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 5);
dateElement.setProperty("defaultDateValue", $.datepicker.formatDate(dateElement.datepicker_dataPickerOptions.dateFormat, date ));
/pre

Note: using Date object methods setDate, setMonth, setYear you can shift initial state for the datePicker.

This worked. Thank you for your help

It worked for me when I replaced the "date" with the named of my true date picker name which was "datepicker"

THANK YOU!

var dateElement = Appery("date");
dateElement.setProperty("defaultDateValue", $.datepicker.formatDate(dateElement.datepicker_dataPickerOptions.dateFormat, new Date()));

Hello Akshara,

Please use JS code below for that:
prevar dateElement = Appery("todate");
var d = new Date();
var dd = d.getDate();
var mm = d.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = d.getFullYear();
if (dd < 10) {dd='0'+dd;}
if (mm < 10) {mm='0'+mm;}

dateElement&#46;setProperty("defaultDateValue", mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy);/pre
