You would use the .toString() method of the dat object as follows:<br />
<br />
var start = new Date($(&quot;#startdate&quot;).val()<wbr />);<br />
start.toString('MM/dd/yyyy<wbr />');<br />
<br />

Thanks both for your replies!<br />
<br />
Should this converting method also work with different languages? I'm having troubles with that.<br />
<br />
the date in dutch is for example: 04 juli 2012<br />
needs to be converted to 07-04-2012<br />
this, so the difference between the start and end date can be calculated. (in days)<br />
<br />
now it only works for months which have the same abbreviation in Dutch as in English like 'sep' but not 'okt' vs 'oct'<br />
<br />
thanks

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to convert a date like 06 jan 2013 to 01/06/2013 with some javascript/jQuery.<br />
I've search a lot, but can't find much on converting month names to digits.<br />
<br />
i'm using it like this: #startdate = <b>06 jan 2013</b><br />
var start = new Date($(&quot;#startdate&quot;).val()<wbr />);<br />
<br />
should become:<br />
#startdate = <b>01/06/2013</b><br />
var start = new Date($(&quot;#startdate&quot;).val()<wbr />);<br />
<br />
Thanks!

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

jQuery

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.
