Using moment.js to convert date to string "MM/dd/yyyy"
StartDate = moment(StartDate).format('MM-YYYY');
...and MySQL date format:
StartDate = moment(StartDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
I think you just have incorrect casing in the format string. According to the documentation this should work for you: MM/DD/YYYY
Try this:
var momentObj = $("#start_ts").datepicker("getDate");var yourDate = momentObj.format('L');
