I am using the Jquery UI Datepicker plugin, I am trying to get the selected day, month and year from the datepicker in different variables (final solution is to assign all 3 variables to hidden fields).
Here is the code:
$(function() {
$("#_StartDate").datepicker(
{
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
var startDate = new Date(dateText);
var selDay = startDate.getDay();
alert(selDay);
}
}
);
});
I selected the date "1/10/2011" and it returns "1". I selected the date "1/25/2011" and it returns "2". What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks for your help!
