Many Thanks!
Got it working in about 5 minutes. For anyone else who runs across
this posting the code below will help.
To populate the purchase date from the database on the "Edit Item" form:
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
var myDate="<%= @item.purchase_date.strftime("%m/%d/%y") %>";
$("#datepicker").val(myDate);
});
To populate the current date on the "New Item" form:
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
var myDate="<%= Date.today.strftime("%m/%d/%y") %>";
$("#datepicker").val(myDate);
});
