Date Calendar in UK format

[Aditya Singh 3]

I am using date calendar usinghttps://spotfired.blogspot.com/2014/05/popup-calendar-webplayer-compatible.htmlbut when I select date in calendar, it is going in US format. Is there any way to force it to format the date in UK format ie. dd/mm/yyyy.

Spotfire will use the Regional settings on your computer to determine date format.

Thanks, my regional settings are set to UK format only but still it is going to US format.

Hey nice blog but how can I change the format for the date time picker as when I am opening the report from UK as the system date setting are in dd-mm-yy format

its taking wrong date but on opening it from US is working fine

what I understood that we need to add regional setting.

How can we add it

$.datepicker.setDefaults( $.datepicker.regional[ "" ] );

 

 

As if I select 10- Nov -2014 from london its changing it to 11-Oct -2014 but from US systems its working fine

Add "altFormat" to your "pickerOptions" object:

 

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({

altFormat: "dd-mm-yy"

});

 

Here is the documentation for all available options: http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/

Thanks, I already tried this but my date format is not changing even after formatting in code.

It worked at my end on applying below settings.

Thanks, it worked. my code was having typos which was preventing it. I used dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy" , both dateFormat and altFormat worked.
