Hi bernhard,

Here is a quick solution to this, i didnt have time to try and do it correctly.

On line 2196 you can change it to:
                    $str .= "\n\t\t\t" . '$("#' . $jqueryDateIDArr[$d] . '").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd", showButtonPanel: true, defaultDate:
$.datepicker.parseDate("yy-mm-dd", "' . $ele->attributes["value"] . '") });';

You can then set the value to your datepicker to something like:
            $form->addDate("Date:", "field0","2001-08-27");

There should probably be an attribute that lets you set the dateFormat, when i 
get a
bit more time i'll try to do it properly and we'll see if ajporterfield likes 
it :-P

Thanks,
moncojhr

Hey Guys,

If you have a date that is formatted YYYY-MM-DD, you will need to reformat 
using the
date/strtotime functions before passing it as a value to the addDate() method.  
Below
is an example.

$dateStr = "2010-02-12";
$dateStr = date("F j, Y", strtotime($dateStr));
$form->addDate("Date:", "myDateField", $dateStr);
