I have a form similiar to the example below. There is a default date of, say, January 1, 2005. I want the date format to be "yy-mm-dd".
Problem #1: On page load, I instead get today's date populated in the field. It seems setting any option causes the date to be set to today's date. Problem #2: On page refresh, Firefox autopopulates the form with the last user set value. i.e., if I go ahead and pick "2005-01-01" and hit Forward and then Back on the browser, I should expect "2005-01-01" to be autopopulated by Firefox, except this is also overridden by Datepicker to today's date on page load. <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" href="http:// ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/start/jquery- ui.css"/> </head> <body> <form><input id="testDate" type="text" value="2005-01-01" /></ form> <script> $(function() { $('#testDate').datepicker(); $('#testDate').datepicker('option', { dateFormat: "yy-mm- dd" }); //this is the line causing the problem }); </script> </body> </html> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery UI" group.
