I am trying to get the currently selected date in YYYY-MM-DD format
and am having problems. If I get the date via the onSelect function I
passed as an option when initializing the object, the date is returned
correctly.
Here's how I create it:
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({changeMonth: true, changeYear:
true,
onSelect: function(dateText, inst){dateSelectFunc(dateText);},
dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
});
function dateSelectFunc(dateText, inst)
{
alert("you picked " + dateText);
}
The alert box shows the day as 2009-10-14.
But if I have code that uses the getDate method, it returns the date
as:
Wed Oct 14 2009 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time)
I even specifically reset the dateFormat before I call getDate:
$("#datepicker").datepicker({dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
var dateText = $("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate');
alert(dateText);
That alert gives me Wed Oct 14 2009 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Central
Daylight Time).
What I am trying to do is to refresh a list of events on a specific
date after a person has deleted one or edited it. A person clicks on
a date in the datepicker and that calls $("#eventlistings").load() and
loads a list of events with a delete option next to each one. When
the user deletes a date, I want to re-get all of the events on the
select date to show them that the event was deleted. So I am trying
to use the dateText variable. dateText needs to be 2009-10-14, but
I'm getting the long version.
I'm having a bad day, so I know I'm doing something stupid. I just
can't figure out what. :)
Thanks!
