Parsing datepicker in jquery

Question

In forms I have two inputs for date ,StartDate input and End date input. I also have datepicker implemented ,

 $("#StartDate").datepicker();

datepicker formats it something like: 02/27/2013 which I don't like but ok.

I would like to parse date before putting it in serialized array. Is this good aproach and if it is how can I accoplish this?

How to accomplish that End Date inut is bigger than Start That, and not allow the oppsoite file submitting??

Try this:

 $.datepicker.parseDate('dd/mm/yy', '22/04/2010');

Once you set a datepicker, yes it does set the date in plain text, but it also retains the underlying date.

http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#method-getDate

var currentDate = $( ".selector" ).datepicker( "getDate" );

You can use dateFormat to set your own format:

$("#StartDate").datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });

(Also see the example at jquery ui datepicker.)

And as other have stated, you can use the utility function:

// Extract a date from a string value with a specified format.
$.datepicker.parseDate( format, value, settings )

yes, just did that, but my problem is how to parse it. Maybe I can use .split('/') but what if user enters something like this 1.1.2013

@impeRAtoR Ah, ok, doesn't it work with $.datepicker.parseDate which extracts a date from a string value with a specified format?

Sorry, my mistake, user is not able to enter . or , when datepicker is implemented

@impeRAtoR I'm not really following you here =) What is the expected output? What do you want to format to?
