To set the value of an input element with a type of date using jQuery, you can use the val() function. For example:
Copy code
$('#date-input').val('2022-12-31');
This will set the value of the input element with the ID date-input to 2022-12-31. Note that the value must be a string in the format YYYY-MM-DD.
If you want to set the value to the current date, you can use the following code:
Copy code
var currentDate = new Date().toISOString().substring(0, 10);
$('#date-input').val(currentDate);
This will set the value of the input element to the current date in the YYYY-MM-DD format.
It is important to note that the input element with a type of date may not be supported in all browsers.
If you need to support older browsers that do not support this input type, you may need to use a different approach,
such as a JavaScript library or a custom implementation.
