Please help set my calendar to automatically get the current date

Please help. I can't get my calendar to automatically get the current date.

I'm not sure where the problem is so I'll post the whole script.
Here it is.

(function($){



        var availableTags = [
            "ActionScript",
            "AppleScript",
            "Asp",
            "BASIC",
            "C",
            "C++",
            "Clojure",
            "COBOL",
            "ColdFusion",
            "Erlang",
            "Fortran",
            "Groovy",
            "Haskell",
            "Java",
            "JavaScript",
            "Lisp",
            "Perl",
            "PHP",
            "Python",
            "Ruby",
            "Scala",
            "Scheme"
        ];
        $( "#autocomplete" ).autocomplete({
            source: availableTags
        });

        // Hover states on the static widgets
        $( "#dialog-link, #icons li" ).hover(
            function() {
                $( this ).addClass( "ui-state-hover" );
            },
            function() {
                $( this ).removeClass( "ui-state-hover" );
            }
        );
    });


(function($){
    var initLayout = function() {
        var hash = window.location.hash.replace('#', '');
        var currentTab = $('ul.navigationTabs a')
                            .bind('click', showTab)
                            .filter('a[rel=' + hash + ']');
        if (currentTab.size() == 0) {
            currentTab = $('ul.navigationTabs a:first');
        }
        showTab.apply(currentTab.get(0));
        $('#date').DatePicker({
            flat: true,
            date: '2008-07-31',
            current: '2008-07-31',
            calendars: 1,
            starts: 1,
            view: 'years'
        });
        var now = new Date();
        now.addDays(-10);

                    className: date.valueOf() == now2.valueOf() ? 'datepickerSpecial' : false
                }
            },
            onChange: function(formated, dates) {
            },
            starts: 0
        });
        $('#clearSelection').bind('click', function(){

            position: 'right',
            onBeforeShow: function(){
                $('#inputDate').DatePickerSetDate($('#inputDate').val(), true);
            },
            onChange: function(formated, dates){
                $('#inputDate').val(formated);
                if ($('#closeOnSelect input').attr('checked')) {
                    $('#inputDate').DatePickerHide();
                }
            }
        });
        var now3 = new Date();
        now3.addDays(-4);
        var now4 = new Date()
        $('#widgetCalendar').DatePicker({
            flat: true,
            format: 'd B, Y',
            date: [new Date(now3), new Date(now4)],
            calendars: 3,
            mode: 'range',
            starts: 1,

    var showTab = function(e) {

    EYE.register(initLayout, 'init');
})(jQuery)

HI,
If you are using jQuery DatePicker you can apply it on any textfield.
follow this,

So I mix this

var now3 = new Date();
        now3.addDays(-4);
        var now4 = new Date()
        $('#widgetCalendar').DatePicker({
            flat: true,
            format: 'd B, Y',
            date: [new Date(now3), new Date(now4)],
            calendars: 3,
            mode: 'range',
            starts: 1,
            onChange: function(formated) {
                $('#widgetField span').get(0).innerHTML = formated.join(' ÷ ');

            }

        });

With this?

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({dateFormat:"dd M yy"}).datepicker("setDate",new Date());
