Question

i have this markup

 <input tabindex="5"  type="text" class="bgFecha date-pick" id="date2" value="12/03/2011" name="date2"/>

Please note the value of the input

but onclick the datepikcer starts with a 2 years later date:

This is the call:

$(function(){
    $('.date-pick').attr('readonly','true');
    $('.date-pick').datePicker({clickInput:true})
});

What is wrong? i need the datepicker to use the value=”” date to start.

thanks

The default format for jquery datepicker it’s mm/dd/yy. You need to use 12/03/11.

Or you can change the date format:

$(function(){
    $('.date-pick').attr('readonly','true');
    $('.date-pick').datePicker({ 
        clickInput:true, 
        altFormat: 'mm/dd/yyyy' // change the date format
    });
});
