Question

I have to set the date in my datepicker in dd/mm/yyyy format. Whet I\'m trying to do, with Javascript is this:

  var year = 2014;
  var month = 5;
  var day = 10         


        

Answer 1

format : "DD/MM/YYYY" should resolve your issue. If you need more help regarding available formats, please visit http://momentjs.com/ which is used by this control internally.

I was facing an issue where this "format" thing was working fine on local machine but when I deployed the application on server, the date was not getting populated and the control was empty. when I commented the format code, it started working but then I didn't have the format that I needed. I fixed that issue using globalization entries in web.config.

This helped in ensuring that both local & server environments have same culture.
