title: How to set current date with jquery ui datepicker
body: <p>I'm making an edit profile form, and I'm using jquery iu datepicker to select DOB, now when user edits its data he/she has already some date in the profile field, now if the user wanted to change the date the datepicker pops up, how can I make the date from profile field to be selected on the date picker, </p>
  
  <p>or simply how can I make datepicker display specific date when opened here is my current script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#member_dob').datepicker({
              changeMonth: true,
              changeYear: true,
              defaultDate: ,
              yearRange: '1970:1992',
              dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
              monthNamesShort: ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','Maj','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Okt','Nov','Dec'],
              dayNamesMin: ['Ned', 'Pon', 'Uto', 'Sri', '&amp;#268;et', 'Pet', 'Sub']
          });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So for instance if my dob is 20.05.1987 , how could I set datepicker to display that date when opened, or just month and a year</p>
