bootstrap datepicker setDate format dd/mm/yyyy

Question

I have to set the date in my datepicker in dd/mm/yyyy format. Whet I'm trying to do, with Javascript is this:

  var year = 2014;
  var month = 5;
  var day = 10;

  var realDate = new Date(year, month - 1, day); // months are 0-based!

  $('#MainContent_txtDataConsegna').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yyyy' }); // format to show
  $('#MainContent_txtDataConsegna').datepicker('setDate', realDate);

the problem is that the value inside my datepicker is always in format mm/dd/yyyy. Where is the problem??

Here the definition datepicker and datepicker options:

   <div class="input-group date">
       <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtDataOrdine" class="form-control" onBlur="CalcolaTotaliTestata('txtDataOrdine')"></asp:TextBox>
       <span class="input-group-addon"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i>/span>
    </div>

<script type="text/javascript">
   $('.input-group.date').datepicker({
       todayBtn: "linked",
       language: "it",
       autoclose: true,
       todayHighlight: true,
       dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yyyy' 
   });
</script>

Change

dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yyyy'

to

format: 'dd/mm/yyyy'

Looks like you just misread some documentation!
