The date picker returns strings yyyy-mm-dd. Mostly in my app, yyyy-mm-dd is exactly ok, but there is this one instance where dd-mm-yyyy is required. So I wondered if there was an easy way to change behaviour of the widget, one-time (so I don't want to change application-wide defaults). The jquery docs suggest only javascript can do it. In the end I just used datetime to convert it to a date and back to a string in my required format.
