ASP.NET MVC jquery datepicker bug

Question

I'm trying to set default value for text input, but when doing this

<input type="text" id="dateTo" name="to" class="datepick" value="@DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-mm-dd")" />

i'm getting some like this 2015-41-26

and when i'm set jquery picker time format like this

$(function () {
    $(".datepick").datepicker({ gotoCurrent: true, dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd", firstDay: 1 });
});

date format - like a this 2015-01-26 (TG with correct date)

How to solve both piece of one problem with datepicker.

Q: Why 4 digit and 2 digit years? Why not just 4 digit years for both? — iCollect.it Ltd

To mock up a repro, can you do a save-as from your browser of the page's raw HTML and stick it in a JSFiddle? That will help testing the date-picker problem (please fix the mm => MM first) — iCollect.it Ltd

Server-side mm is the minutes, not the months :)

In .Net a 2 digit month is MM (capital Ms).

e.g. change it to:

@DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")

You are right(i get lost it) - but when i select a datepicker i getting exception like this

Exception was thrown at line 19, column 49713 in http://localhost:46960/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js 0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: SyntaxError

may be this happened because dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" != "@DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
