 $( "#format" ).change(function() {
 $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", $( this ).val() );

Thanks for the suggestion Max, but that is not working.

My original code used the option selector which I want to remove from the form:

<p>Format options:<br />
<select id="format">
<option value="mm/dd/yy">Default - mm/dd/yy</option>
<option value="yy-mm-dd">ISO 8601 - yy-mm-dd</option>
<option value="d M, y">Short - d M, y</option>
<option value="d MM, y">Medium - d MM, y</option>
<option value="DD, d MM, yy">Full - DD, d MM, yy</option>
<option value="'day' d 'of' MM 'in the year' yy">With text - 'day' d 'of' MM 'in the year' yy</option>
</select>
</p>

So just to confirm, here is the page I am following: http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#date-formats

When I use the script as shown, it works fine when i make the manual selection on the input form to select yy-mm-dd, but when I delete the date format sector form filed and and edit the header code, it doesn't work.

I am confused about "delete the date format sector form filed and and edit the header code, it doesn’t work."

You remove the <select> from the DOM using .remove() ? How are you editing the header code?

Like this?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>datepicker- formats</title>
<link href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#datepicker" ).datepicker()
$("#format" ).change(function() {
$("#datepicker" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", $( this ).val() );
$(this).remove()
})
})
</script>
<style type="text/css">
#datepicker{width:200px}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Format options:<br />
<select id="format">
<optgroup>
<option>Select a format</option>
<option value="mm/dd/yy">Default - mm/dd/yy</option>
<option value="yy-mm-dd">ISO 8601 - yy-mm-dd</option>
<option value="d M, y">Short - d M, y</option>
<option value="d MM, y">Medium - d MM, y</option>
<option value="DD, d MM, yy">Full - DD, d MM, yy</option>
<option value="'day' d 'of' MM 'in the year' yy">With text - 'day' d 'of' MM 'in the year' yy</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
</p>
<input id="datepicker">
</body>
</html>
