javascript date format

Question

I am using jquery datepicker, I want to set min date and max date to show dates. I need to allow user to select date Within min and max range. And dateformat also I need to set based on the user locale.

And I have 2 date field Start date and End date.

$(function(){
                    var d = new Date();
                    var minD = new Date("12/02/2012"); //DD/MM/YYYY
                    var maxD = new Date("12/04/2012");//DD/MM/YYYY

                        $('#startDate').datepicker({
                            changeMonth: true,
                            changeYear:true, 
                            dateFormat: "DD/MM/YY", 
                            monthNamesShort:getTitleMonths(),
                            dayNamesMin:getTitleDays(),
                            constrainInput: true,
                            minDate: new Date(minD.getFullYear(), minD.getMonth(), minD.getDate()),
                            maxDate: new Date(maxD.getFullYear(), maxD.getMonth(), maxD.getDate()),
                            changeFirstDay: false});


                        $('#endDate').datepicker({
                            changeMonth: true,
                            changeYear:true,
                            dateFormat:getDatePattern(),
                            monthNamesShort: getTitleMonths(),
                            dayNamesMin: getTitleDays(),
                            constrainInput: true,
                            minDate: new Date(minD.getFullYear(), minD.getMonth(), minD.getDate()),
                            maxDate: new Date(maxD.getFullYear(), maxD.getMonth(), maxD.getDate()),
                            changeFirstDay: false});

                    });

But above code not working properly for another local country.... It always pick my system date format "mm/dd/yyyy".

So I try to format the date var dateFormat = "dd.mm.yyyy"; var startDate = "16/05/2012";

dateFormat may varies, for example, dd/mm/yyyy, m/dd/yyyy, dd-mm-yyyy etc.,. based on this startDate should formatted. have any need options other than split by separator?

Any chance you could rephrase this question? I am very unclear on what you're asking here. — Surreal Dreams

You can try the Datejs library.

jQuery dateFormat is a good plugin to use for this.

You have to actually get (and/or load) the plugin. It's not part of the base jQuery package.

I personally use this date formatter which is a ninja of all date formatting.

add jquery ui plugin in your page.

function DateFormate(dateFormate, dateTime) {
    return $.datepicker.formatDate(dateFormate, dateTime);
};
