Question

I am using the jQuery datepicker but I want to be able to change the format of the date depending on whether the date picked is the 1st day of the month.

I know I need to use onSelect: function() { ... } but I’m really not sure how to insert the if statement into here based on what has been selected to change the date format.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

It will be something like:

onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
    if( dateText.substring(0,2) == "01" ){  //first two characters of the string
        //change format
    }
}
