I’m making an edit profile form, and I’m using jquery iu datepicker to select DOB, now when user edits its data he/she has already some date in the profile field, now if the user wanted to change the date the datepicker pops up, how can I make the date from profile field to be selected on the date picker,

or simply how can I make datepicker display specific date when opened here is my current script:

$('#member_dob').datepicker({
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            defaultDate: ,
            yearRange: '1970:1992',
            dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
            monthNamesShort: ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','Maj','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Okt','Nov','Dec'],
            dayNamesMin: ['Ned', 'Pon', 'Uto', 'Sri', 'Čet', 'Pet', 'Sub']
        });

So for instance if my dob is 20.05.1987 , how could I set datepicker to display that date when opened, or just month and a year

    You can assign a date object to default date setting to datepicker widget, for instance as default date 1980, February 2nd:

    var d = new Date(1980, 2, 2);
$('#member_dob').datepicker({
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
            defaultDate: d,
            yearRange: '1970:1992',
            dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
            monthNamesShort: ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','Maj','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Okt','Nov','Dec'],
            dayNamesMin: ['Ned', 'Pon', 'Uto', 'Sri', 'Čet', 'Pet', 'Sub']
        });

    This should do what you need,

    hope it helps, Sinan.
