Jquery datepicker format date not working

Question

Here is my code:

$(function () {
    $("#datepicker").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'DD-MM-YY' });
});

And the datetime picker is shown, but in format mm/dd/yyyy. Why is it not working?

Answer 1

Try just format option not dateFormat

$('#datepicker').datepicker({
   format: 'dd-mm-yyyy' 
});
