Question about <input value="" />

[Alex]

Hi, this is what I want to do, I have <input id="datepicker" value="10/10/2011"/> but I'd like to put something like value="Pick a date" instead of value="10/10/2011". I tried it already but the input shows empty. Any help? Thanks.

Hi Alex,

 
While initialization process the DatePicker gets the input value and clears if it is not a valid date. You can achieve your goal using placeholder attribute or set the value of the input after the datepicker is initialized.
