datepicker setdate issues in jQuery

Question

I have a function that executes a query to get some data based on a certain date range which is selected using  datepicker     I am trying to set the datepicker s that are in the response data back to the date range which was selected before the query was executed   queryDate    2009-11-01       datePicker   datepicker  setDate   queryDate     has the interesting result of setting the datepicker to today s date   I wouldn t be so confused if it just spit out an error   Why does it set it to today s date   How can I take the date which is formated like   yyyy-mm-dd  and set the datepicker to it   I am thinking it might be best to just set the text-box which the datepicker is linked to to  queryDate

As Scobal s post implies  the datepicker is looking for a Date object - not just a string  So  to modify your example code to do what you want   var queryDate   new Date  2009 11 01       Dashes won t work     datePicker   datepicker  setDate   queryDate

When you trying to call setDate you must provide valid javascript Date object   queryDate    2009-11-01    var parsedDate     datepicker parseDate  yy-mm-dd   queryDate        datePicker   datepicker  setDate   parsedDate     This will allow you to use different formats for query date and string date representation in datepicker  This approach is very helpful when you create multilingual site  Another helpful function is formatDate  which formats javascript date object to string     datepicker formatDate  format  date  settings

If you would like to support really old browsers you should parse the date string  since using the ISO8601 date format with the Date constructor is not supported pre IE9   var queryDate    2009-11-01       dateParts   queryDate match    d   g      realDate   new Date dateParts 0   dateParts 1  - 1  dateParts 2                                             months are 0-based     For  gt   IE9 var realDate   new Date  2009-11-01           datePicker   datepicker   dateFormat   yy-mm-dd         format to show     datePicker   datepicker  setDate   realDate     Check the above example here

Check that the date you are trying to set it to lies within the allowed date range if the minDate or maxDate options are set
