body: <p>How can I set a selected date of the jquery datepicker by adding 3 days to the actual date? </p>
  
  <p>Like from 11/01/2011 to 11/04/2011</p>

  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
          $(function() {$("#datepicker").datepicker();});
          //Set DatePicker to actual date + 3 days
          $('#dateselector').datepicker("setDate", new Date(date.getMonth()+"/"+(date.getDate()+3)+"/"+date.getFullYear()) );                      
  &lt;/script&gt;
