title: Cannot configure jQuery datepicker to select default date
body: <p>I am using the following plugin for a datepicker:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://xdsoft.net/jqplugins/datetimepicker/" rel="nofollow">http://xdsoft.net/jqplugins/datetimepicker/</a></p>
  
  <p>This is a very nice plugin however I am finding it difficult to set a default date when loading the box.</p>
  
  <p>See this <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/HVk7W/" rel="nofollow">fiddle</a>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('.datepicker').datepicker();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Box 1 contains 25/12/2013.  I want the datepicker to default to this date when the user selects this box.  Box 2 contains nothing therefore the box should default to today.  </p>
  
  <p><strong>NB</strong> This is currently using standard jquery-ui-datepicker.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried setting various options with no success.  I have also tried to read where the value is being set but again cannot see where the input is referenced.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
