Question

I am working on a jquery calendar script.
In the script, selecting a row gives a date object as callback.

select: function(start, end, allDay) {
                       $("#datepicker_add").val(start);
                       $("#datepicker_add_end").val(end);
                    calendar.fullCalendar('renderEvent',
                        {
                            title: title,
                            start: start,
                            end: end,
                            allDay: allDay
                        },
                        true // make the event "stick"
                    );

                calendar.fullCalendar('unselect');
            },

Here that start and end objects are like that Wed Aug 22 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0300 (EEST)
What i want is to format this as Y-m-d

How can i do that ?

if you use Jquery UI as well you can use the DataPicker’s static convert methods:

$.datepicker.formatDate('mm-dd-yy', DateToConvert); //requires jquery ui

you could also create a new Javascript date object and pass in your desired object off the get-go or use the various “get” functions to pull the pieces you want and reassemble as you need to:
