Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am using a Jquery Datepicker in my
project. The problem is that it is not loading the current date,
but showing a date 1st January 2001 as default. Can you please
let me know how the default date can be corrected so it will
display the current date.  share|improve this question Could you
please provide some code to work with, if we cannot see what YOU
are doing wrong, there is no way WE can help YOU! –  DonSeba Jul

datepicker? one of the numerous datepickers such as this one or

defaults to today so make sure your system date/time is correct.
