datepicker regional dateFormat

datepicker regional dateFormat

Hi there,

I am trying to use the datepicker on my site.  But I cannot get it to change to using 'dd/mm/yy' dateformat for New Zealand dates.  As soon as I select a date from the datepicker popup, the format in my textbox changes to mm/dd/yy

Here is my code, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please??

$(function () {
        $("#datepicker").datepicker({regional: "en-NZ"});
        $("#datepicker").datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'});
        
    });
