Question

I have a datepicker in my document that inputs a date into the input field it’s attached to once you click on a day, as it should. my problem is that I’d like to change the order in which that date is shown. for example, at the moment it reads

11/21/2012 (mm/dd/yyyy)

When I select the 21st of November 2012 when I need it to show

2012/11/21 (yyyy/mm/dd)

is it possible to change this?

Answer 1

Yes, it is one of the options when you setup the datepicker Take a look here for options:

I believe the option you want is the following:

dateFormat: "yy/mm/dd"
