I am creating one application with jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1 release. I have a page which is having input form to get details. It has date field , so for that I used jquery.mobile.datebox . See http://dev.jtsage.com/ for its demo.
I am facing one issue with it, when I set particular date value for date field on page-load , the value is shown in textbox. But when user click on date-picker icon- the calendar still highlight today’s date and show current month only.

If anybody has used the same control then please help about , how to achieve like if there is any date value the text box then when you launch the datepicker, it should start from that date.
For eg. here I am setting date of March month, then ,when user clicks on datepicker , march month calendar should be shown.

Here is my code file.

    You have to set it in the tag itself:

    <input readonly="true"  
       name="startdate" 
       type="date" 
       data-role="datebox" 
       id="startdate" 
       data-options='{
           "mode": "calbox", 
           "useDialogForceFalse": true, 
           "noAnimation": true
        }'/>

    Becomes this

        <input readonly="true"  
       name="startdate" 
       type="date" 
       data-role="datebox" 
       id="startdate" 
       data-options='{
           "mode": "calbox", 
           "useDialogForceFalse": true, 
           "noAnimation": true,
           "defaultDate": "1999-03-20" // Add Default Date
        }'/>
