jQuery datepicker how to populate today's date in textbox when open
===

I have an old application where I used to use dlcalendar from WebDeveloper.com that I recently updated to use the jQuery ui datepicker. It's activated by clicking a calendar icon. I've received one complaint on the switch: in dlcalendar, as soon as you click the icon, the associated textbox is populated with the default date (today) as well as displaying the calendar.  In jQuery, you have to click the icon to display the datepicker, and then click today's date (which is highlighted) to populate the textbox.


	$(function() {
		$('input[id^="jqd_"]').datepicker({
			showOn: "button",
			buttonImage: "images/dlcalendar_2.gif",
			buttonImageOnly: true,
			changeMonth: true,
			changeYear: true,
					
		});
	});		


The textbox should be empty before you click the icon.

I'm guessing it should use the beforeShow event somehow?
