 $("#datepickerTo").datepicker({
                 dateFormat: 'mm-dd-yy', 
                 changeMonth: true,
                 changeYear: true,
                 yearRange: '-70:+10',


});

$("#datepickerFrom").datepicker({
                 dateFormat: 'mm-dd-yy', 
                 changeMonth: true,
                 changeYear: true,
                 yearRange: '-70:+10',


});

but it is not working for me. please help me to solve this.

Solution

  • This may work for you,try it :

    var lastDate = new Date();
lastDate.setDate(lastDate.getDate() - 7);//any date you want
$("#datepickerFrom").datepicker('setDate', lastDate);
