DatePicker dateFormat and defaultDate

[asmer]

This works correct:

$("#startDateDiv").datepicker({altField: '#startDate',

altFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});

$('#startDateDiv').datepicker('option', 'defaultDate','<?php echo $_GETstartDate?; ?>' );

And this not works correctly:

$("#endDateDiv").datepicker({altField: '#endDate',

altFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', defaultDate: '<?php echo $_GETendDate?; ?>'});

What is not working? Are the calendars not showing? Are the alternate fields not populated?

[ghallas]

I have the same thing. What is not working, is that the dateFormat is not applied to the defaultDate when you set all the parameters in the $(selector).datepicker() call.

if you set the dateFormat, and then use

$('#startDateDiv').datepicker('option', 'defaultDate','someDate' ),

the dateFormat is applied to the defaultDate.

I hope I helped clear this out

Probably got fixed since this issue was reported.
