$.datepicker.formatDate( "yy-mm-dd", new Date( 2007, 1 - 1, 26 ) );

$(function() {

$( ".datepicker" ).datepicker();

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });

I'm not sure what the formatDate function is (unless it for a different datepicker than the UI one). To change the date format after it has been initialized the syntax looks like:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", "yy-mm-dd" );

Check out the formatDate api entry.

Now i have this but it does not work.

I have an element with a class "datepicker"

$(function() {

$( ".datepicker" ).datepicker();

$( ".selector" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", "yy-mm-dd" );

});

</script>

Sorry, I may have misunderstood your original post. I thought you wanted to change it after it was already initialized which would look like:

$( ".datepicker" ).datepicker(); // initialize it
.... do some stuff
$( ".datepicker" ).datepicker("option", "dateFormat", "yy-mm-dd"); // now change the format.

If you just want to start with that format then you would initialize them like

$( ".datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });
$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });

You can read all the different methods and options and how to use them in the datepicker api

I did not specify when i wanted to change the format, so no worries.

I choose to start with that format. So the second piece of code.

I works beautifully.

Thank you very much for your help!
