Hmm... well..
you have this declared
dateFormat: "dd MM yy"
and you say you want to set it to
10 Mar 2008
The format is looking for a 2-digit year, your value is a 4 digit
year, i'd say that would be an issue and could be the cause of your
unexpected result
also, what about simply setting the value of the textbox if fixing the
format/value mixup doesn't work
$("#start").val("10 Mar 2008");
