Calendar Fomat: XX/XX/XXXX

[mvang]

How can I format my date to XX/XX/XXXX.
For example: 08/12/2009 currently my variable comes in 8/12/2009. It is possible to have 2 digits for the month, 2 digits for the day?

Advanced Scripting:
spec['StartDate'].calendar(
{
width: "80",
format: "DayOfMonth/DayOfWeek/Year"
}
);

There is nothing in the native javascript date object that will do this, and the widget doesn't support that right now.

I'd recommend not using the calendar and instead use a mask:

spec['StartDate'].mask('##/##/####');

I'm trying to create a script to format the date as: January 1, 2009.
But my date still come out as 1/1/09.

Below are my Advanced Script sample:

spec['Date'].calendar
({
width: "80",
format: "Month, Day Year"
});

OR

spec['Date'].calendar({
width: 200
});

spec['Date'].calendar.onChange = function() {
spec['Date'].calendar.value = spec['Date'].calendar.month() + " " + spec['Date'].calendar.dayOfMonth() + ", " + spec['Date'].calendar.year();
}

http://www.insightsfour51.com/wiki/index.php?title=Calendar
indicate value format of the date selection:
month(): Returns the text representation of the selected month. Ex: July.
dayOfMonth(): Returns the numeric representation of the selected day of the month. Ex: 20.
year(): Returns the numeric representation of the selected year. Ex: 2008.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.

Hello,

I've search online and did more testing but nothing seem to work.
I've tried the script below:
spec['Date'].calendar
({
width: "80",
format: "Month"
});

the result for the Month is "August" but as soon as I add the day format than the format goes back to 8/19/09.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
