jQuery trigger a DatePicker change event

Question

I have the following code:

$(\'.custom_datepicker_selector\').datepicker({
  weekStart: 1
})
.on(\'changeDate\', function(en) {
  var correct_format;
  corre         


        

Answer 1

You can define the default date format also.

Try this out:

$('.custom_datepicker_selector').datepicker({
  weekStart: 1,
  dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'
}).on('changeDate', function(en) {
      $('.custom_datepicker_selector').datepicker('hide');
      return $(this).parent().find("input[type=hidden]").val(en);
   });

UPDATE : (important)

I have seen your JSFiddle, you have kept the default value of the textbox as value="2013-02-17" that's why it shows that value at start just remove it.
