change dateformat when using to/from jquery datepicker?

Hi,
I've got a 'To/From' datepicker on my site and I'm trying to get my format into yy-mm-dd instead of what the default example is: yy/mm/dd

This is the code I am using (right of the jquery demo site)

<script>
	$(function() {
		var dates = $( "#from, #to" ).datepicker({
			defaultDate: "+1w",
			changeMonth: true,
			numberOfMonths: 2,
			onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
				var option = this.id == "from" ? "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 );
			}
		});
	});
	</script>

Open in new window

I can see something about the dateformat but can't figure out how to get it to use the right format?

Thanks as always

yes I saw that. Unfortunately I can't see how to place that into the example code they have for a 'date range picker'.
The only sample is you choose from a dropdown what format and it shows it appropriately.

Doesn't show how to set a default format when you initialize it.

My format I'm after is yy-mm-dd

The default it uses is yy/mm/dd

I've tried putting this in to format the 'from'
$( "#from" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });

doesn't change it from the yy/mm/dd

Hi,
Had a freaking typo before. Worked once I caught that.
Thanks
