Jquery implementations automatically add the current date to the date plug in when the page loads

The current date is automatically added to the date plug-in when the page loads.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#startTime").val(formatDate());
$("#endTime").val(formatDate());
}

The body part of the JSP page:

<td><label> Date: </label></td>
<td><input type="text" id="startTime"> Go to: <input type="text" id="endTime"></td>
