How to manage date fields in template

Hi, in my website I've a template file with date/time fields



<dt><label for="field_date_from">Sart Date</label></dt>
<dd id="data_date_from">
<select class="select" id="field_date_from" name="date_from_month">
<option value="">-</option>

{dropdownlist:date_months,""}
</select>
<select class="select" name="date_from_day">
<option value="">-</option>

{dropdownlist:date_days,""}
</select>
<select class="select" name="date_from_year">
<option value="">-</option>

{dropdownlist:date_years,""}
</select>
</dd>


Is it possible automatically select day month year of today?

Thanks
.
