Change date in input type date HTML

Question

I have a problem. I want to change the date in the input field to the current date. Here is my code:

<input type="date" id="datum currentdate">

$(document).ready( function() {
    var now = new Date();
    var day = ("0" + now.getDate()).slice(-2);
    var month = ("0" + (now.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
    var today = now.getFullYear()+"-"+(month)+"-"+(day) ;
    $('#currentdate').val(today);
});

But this doesn't work. I have included jQuery. Does anyone know a solution for this problem?

the id for your input field must be currentdate nor datum currentdate

<input type="date" id="currentdate">

But i need the other id for something else in my code.... – Micha Jul 28 '15 at 07:58
@Micha then you can change the id of the field and in your jquery. But do not use blanks in the id. – Jens Jul 28 '15 at 08:00
Now it works. :D I just made it with a class not with an ID. – Micha Jul 28 '15 at 08:03
