Change Date

[Shawn Springstead]

I'm going to have an aneurysm. I know this stuff is all over here, and there's tons of answers to this question, but non of them WORK.

I'm just trying to change the chosen date of a picker. Thats all. How easy.

Heres my input:
<input type="text" class="input-small form-control" name="start" id="date-range-start" />

I have a picker that does some stuff:

$('#date-range-start').datepicker({
  defaultDate:'now',
    startDate: startDate,
    endDate: ToEndDate,
    autoclose: true
})
  .on('changeDate', function(selected){
      startDate = new Date(selected.date.valueOf()+ 1000*3600*24);
      startDate.setDate(startDate.getDate(new Date(selected.date.valueOf())));
      $('#date-range-end').datepicker('setStartDate', startDate);
      filterTable();
  });

And basically I want to be able to programatically set the selected date when I do something somewhere else. Theres a billion different ways people give to set the date including:

$('#date-range-start').datepicker("update", new Date());
$('#date-range-start').datepicker('update', '2015-01-01');
$('#date-range-start').datepicker('setDate',new Date());
$('#date-range-start').datepicker("update", new Date());
$('#date-range-start').data({date: '2015-01-01'});

and many others that I've tried and forgotten. Sometimes people say 'aw you gotta refresh the picker with $('#date-range-start').datepicker("update"); and some people don't seem to need it, but nothing works for me. Theres no error, they all return the input item, they all remain blank.

Help me I'm dying.
