  if ($('#filter_reportdate_from').val() == ""){
	  var dateDeb = new Date();
	  var leMois = Number(dateDeb.getMonth())+1;
	  var annee = dateDeb.getFullYear();
	  var laDateDeb = "01."+leMois+"."+annee;
	  $('#filter_reportdate_from').val(laDateDeb);
	  adminForm.submit()
  }

Just to know if my coding is correct : i want to set a range From filter field to the first day of the month if nothing has been chosen (so when the user first arrives on the page). (It works, i just want to know if i could code it better)

Better in PHP.

In the view file, BEFORE to call getItems()

$model->setState('filter.reportdate_from', $dateDeb->toSql());

Assuming $dateDeb is a JDate Object initializated as you want.
You must read the state before to set default value :

if (!$model->getState('filter.reportdate_from'))

Be careful with JDate::toSql() function (in my example) it is only supported by Joomla 3.0. You must use the helper to make this code cross compatible.

XxxxHelperDates::toSql($dateDeb)

Hope it helps.

Coding is now a piece of cake

The j-cook project is indeed one of the best tools I've run across for building Joomla components and the beta version should make things even better!.
