check the source of your page (or print somewhere in it {{=T('%Y-%m-%d')}}).
'%Y-%m-%d' is just a *placeholder *for the T operator: that T() translates
whatever value it's assigned to the key '%Y-%m-%d' ..... that little line
in web2py_ajax.html "passes" the *translated *value to the javascript
variable w2p_ajax_date_format i.e.
for it users web2py_ajax.html should render var w2p_ajax_date_format =
'%d/%m/%Y'
https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/applications/welcome/languages/it.py#L12
while for cs users should render w2p_ajax_date_format = '%d.%m.%Y'
https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/applications/welcome/languages/cs.py#L9
etc etc etc
tl;dr usually you don't change the format acting on web2py_ajax.html, you
edit the language file corresponding to your locale settings.
