title: Set Today date to kendo datepicker
body: <p>I want to set today date to Kendo DatePicker on clear button click. I tried following but it is not working.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#btnClear').click(function () {
    $("#StartDate").data("kendoDatePicker").value(new Date());
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Above code don't give any error and don't set today date. It clears kendo DatePicker's textbox value.
  Note: Kendo DatePicker format is MM/dd/yyyy.</p>
