title: jQuery DatePicker Issue: Set current date
body: <p>The datepicker <code>setDate</code> method, as described <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker#method-setDate" rel="noreferrer">here</a> is not working as expected.   </p>
  
  <p>The datepicker is always taking browsers current date. But I want to<br>
  set the current date of my choice.   </p>
  
  <pre><code>$(target).datepicker({ 
          dateFormat: $.datepicker.W3C, 
          closeText: 'X' 
  }); 
  //set the current date 
  $(target).datepicker('setDate', currentDateObj); 
  //checking the current date. 
  alert($(target).datepicker('getDate'));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...where <code>currentDateObj</code> is a javascript date object containing date 1st August 2009.</p>
  
  <p>When I alert the "getDate" it alerts 1st august 2009, but when I open 
  the datepicker it displays the browsers current date ie. 31st august 
  2009 . </p>
