Jquery Datetime picker Date format Issue

Question

I am using jquery datetime picker. it is showing date in "yy/MMM/dd hh:mm:ss" format on selecting the date and time. i am not able to change its format. How can i change it to my custom format "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm"

Answer 1

After initializing the datepicker

$('#selector').datepicker();

you could do

$('#selector').datepicker('option', 'dateFormat', 'dd-mm-y');

See THIS for possible formats

Answer 2

You can set it at initialization like this:

$([selector]).datepicker({
    dateFormat: "dd/MM/yyy hh:mm"
});

Or you can set the date format after initialization using the following code:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'yy-mm-dd' );

Answer 3

$(function(){

var pickerOpts = {

    dateFormat:"d MM yy"

};  

$("#date").datepicker(pickerOpts);

});
