Its very simple you just add this script,

$("#mydate").datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"}).datepicker("setDate", new Date());

Here, setDate set today date & dateFormat define which format you want set or show.

Hope its simple script work..

I tried many ways and came up with my own solution which works absolutely as required    mydate  is the ID of input or datepicker element control             document  ready function               var dateNewFormat  onlyDate  today   new Date             dateNewFormat   today getFullYear      -     today getMonth     1            onlyDate   today getDate             if  onlyDate toString   length    2                dateNewFormat     -    onlyDate                    else               dateNewFormat     -0    onlyDate                        mydate   val dateNewFormat

You need to make the call to setDate separately from the initialization call  So to create the datepicker and set the date in one go       mydate   datepicker   datepicker  setDate   new Date       Why it is like this I do not know  If anyone did  that would be interesting information

Note  When you pass setDate  you are calling a method which assumes the datepicker has already been initialized on that object       function                date   datepicker           date   datepicker  setDate    04 23 2014          Test  http   jsfiddle net wimarbueno hQkec 1
