Formatting out of a jQuery UI datepicker
Your option setter format is just a bit off, try this:
$('.datepicker').datepicker('option', 'dateFormat', 'yy-mm-dd');See the options pane on that page for how to set each one in this way
when doing it globally before creating a picker, do this:
$.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['nl']); $.datepicker.setDefaults({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });//Later..$('.datepicker').datepicker();Also, make sure to include your regional file, or the $.datepicker.regional['nl'] doesn't mean anything, this needs to be included before trying to setDefaults to your regional: http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ui/i18n/
$( "#end_date" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });is what works for me
You can also use a shorter way:
$.datepicker.setDefaults(jQuery.extend( $.datepicker.regional['nl'], { dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' }));
