jQuery UI: Datepicker month format.

Question

I'm trying to change the format of the month that displays in the popup (not in the date that the picker actually returns. I can't find any option anywhere to do this, is there a hack like using substring() or something?

I'm trying to change what's normally displayed as:

<div class="ui-datepicker-title">
    <span class="ui-datepicker-month">January</span>
    ...
</div>

To this:

<div class="ui-datepicker-title">
    <span class="ui-datepicker-month">Jan</span>
    ...
</div>

Answer 1

You could try changing the monthNames options when invoking datePicker.
