Yes, using substrings (or split on the slash and use the array).  The
onSelect event only returns a string of the date, so you will need to
use some kind of string manipulation to parse out the pieces.
Something like this (not tested) should do the trick:

var arr_dateText = dateText.split("/");
startmonth = arr_dateText[0];
startday = arr_dateText[1];
startyear = arr_dateText[2];
