Set Today date to kendo datepicker
I tried following and works perfectly for me.
$('#btnClear').click(function () { var todayDate = kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(new Date()), 'MM/dd/yyyy'); $("#StartDate").data("kendoDatePicker").value(todayDate);});
$('#btnClear').click(function (e) { var todayDate = new Date(); $('#StartDate').data("kendoDatePicker").value(todayDate); });
After setting the value of the datepicker, you need to trigger the change event of the datePicker e.g:
$("#StartDate").data("kendoDatePicker").trigger("change");Explanation from Telerik:
"The DatePicker will not apply the "new" date if it is the same as its internal value. When you call the date in the method [they mean by using datepicker.value(myDate)] and just set its date, then the internal date of the DatePicker is set too"
