Question

I have a jQuery UI datepicker on my page and I set a defaultDate using the below code – but it keeps picking the month after the month I set! For example the below is showing as 1st December, not November!

var datePickDate = new Date(2011, 11, 01);
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
    defaultDate: datePickDate,
    onSelect: function(dateText, inst){
        $("#datepicker_value").val(dateText);
    }
});

Your code is Ok, except the fact that in javascript months are 0-based. So you should put 10 for month if you want November. Check it here
