For MySQL it is a good idea to add the date format as well (the default date format is mm/dd/yy which is not understood by MySQL):




        $this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker', array(

            'model' => $model,

            'attribute' => 'date',

            'options' => array(

                'dateFormat' => 'yy-mm-dd',

            ),

        ));
