Question

So I have a date picker and I want to get back a max date. I have somthing like this

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ minDate: -20, maxDate: "+1M +15D" });

how can I get the maxDate value formatted in MM/DD/YYYY?

Thanks for your help guys

Answer 1

$('#datepicker').datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'mm/dd/yyyy' );

And then specify your maxdate in mm/dd/yyyy.
