jQuery Forum

At http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker#option-dateFormat I've read that formats are avaiable from
"For a full list of the possible formats see the formatDate function."

There are predefined standard date formats like ATOM, or W3C ... If I set W3C the script handles it like it's a literal text.

I didn't expect that.

Here is my code, using jquery 1.4.4, jquery ui 1.8.6, livequery plugin 1.1.1

1. $( "#productionInterval" ).livequery(function() {
       var dates = $( "#productionStart, #productionEnd" ).datepicker({
           maxDate: "-1d",
           minDate: "-100y",
           changeYear: true,
           yearRange: "c-100:c",
           dateFormat: "W3C",
           onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
               var option = this.id == "productionStart" ? "minDate" : "maxDate",
               instance = $( this ).data( "datepicker" );
               date = $.datepicker.parseDate(
                   instance.settings.dateFormat ||
                   $.datepicker._defaults.dateFormat,
                   selectedDate, instance.settings );
               dates.not( this ).datepicker( "option", option, date );
           }
       });
       $("#productionStart").focus();
   });
