Hi every one as i have started jquery 5 days ago i was trying to set datepicker to default date as first date of month , as i have used:

<tr>
            <td class="auto-style2">From Date</td>
            <td class="auto-style2">
                <input type="text" class="ts-inputbox" style="color: black;" name="datepicker" readonly="true" id="txtStartDate" runat="server" />
            </td>
            <td class="auto-style5">
                <asp:Button ID="btnAssign" CssClass="col-centered ts-btn normalbtnsize" runat="server" OnClick="btnAssigned_Click" Text="Generate" />
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
             <td class="auto-style2">From Date</td>
            <td class="auto-style2">
                <input type="text" class="ts-inputbox" style="color: black;" name="datepicker" readonly="true" id="txtEndDate" runat="server" />
            </td>
        </tr>

End date works perfectly but start date doesn't

What I have tried:

<pre>   $(function () {
            $('#txtEndDate').datepicker();
            $('#txtEndDate').datepicker('setDate', new Date());
        });
        $(function () {
            var date = new date();
            date.setMonth(date.getMonth() + 1, 1);
            $('#txtStartDate').datepicker({ defaultDate: date });
        });

Solution 1

try

var d = new Date();
           var currMonth = d.getMonth();
           var currYear = d.getFullYear();
           var startDate = new Date(currYear, currMonth, 1);

           $("#datepicker").datepicker();
           $("#datepicker").datepicker("setDate", startDate);
