Programmatically set date

[Randy]

I have attempted to set the "date" in scheduler using the following:

var startDate = Date.parse(start);
var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
scheduler.setOptions({ date: startDate });
scheduler.view(scheduler.view().name);

When the scheduler widget displays, the current week, or day is shown. I currently do not have the date: or startTime: fields in my scheduler definition.

$("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
    // Cannot edit tasks in schedule
    editable: false,
    // Define allowable scheduler views
    views: [
        { type: "day",
            dateHeaderTemplate: kendo.template($("#header-template").html())
        },
        { type: "week",
            dateHeaderTemplate: kendo.template($("#header-template").html()),
            selected: true
        },
        "month"
    ],
    footer: false,
    // Define how the hours are displayed
    majorTimeHeaderTemplate: kendo.template("<strong>#=kendo.toString(date,'HH')#</strong>⁰⁰"),
    eventTemplate: $("#event-template").html(),
    // 2 ticks between hours
    minorTickCount: 2,
    resources: [
        {
            field: "segment",
            dataSource: []
        }
    ],
    navigate: scheduler_navigate
});

Hello Randy,

I would suggest you try the scheduler's date method, which sets the current date:

Georgi,

 That link is useless.  Is there an actual way to set the date to today?  All the examples in your demos use the same date and that is not very useful when it is no longer 2013 :D

Hello Aaron,

Please excuse me for the incorrect link. I updated it in my initial message. Nevertheless, here is the link to the date method:
