Unable to set a default date in date picker

[Lux Smith]

I reference the following solution but it does seem to be working when I try to
set a default date of a datepicker upon page load event.

Here is my code:

Appery("in_datePicker").setProperty("defaultDateValue", $.datepicker.formatDate("MM/dd/yyyy", new Date()));

I get an error message:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'formatDate' of undefined

Hi,

Are you sure you have placed a datepicker component on any screen?

Thanks. Inadvertently I was using an Input component with type date.
