Question

everybody…
I was wondering how I could format the a date in the datepicker ‘d de MM de yy’ in stead of ‘dd/MM/yy’.

(suppose the date is 21/01/2011 (in spanish) .. so:
$(“#element”).datepicker({
dateFormat:’d de MM de yy’
});

It will output : 21 21e Enero 21e yy

The question is.. is there an escape character so I can format the date?
Thanks, sorry for my English, hope you guys understand

Answer 1

You can escape any plain text characters:

$("#element").datepicker({ dateFormat:'d \\d\\e MM \\d\\e yy' });

You may also be able to escape plain text using single quotes:

$("#element").datepicker({ dateFormat:"d 'de' MM 'de' yy" });
