jQuery Forum

Hi,
I can't seem to find documentation for the functions in UI 1.7.
Specifically, I am looking at the formatDate() function in datepicker
(NOT the same as the dateFormat option) and any other related
functions. There IS documentation at http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker/$.datepicker.formatDate
but this page seems to be orphaned, and I can't get to any parent or
directory page.
Has this function been depreciated in 1.7? If so, what is the
suggested way to display a JavaScript Date object in mm/dd/yy format?
Maybe this is a general jQuery question, but any documentation on the
usage would be helpful. I'm not familiar with the
"$.datepicker.formatDate( format, date, [settings] )" syntax (i.e.
"$." without the use of a selector).
Thanks,
Neil
