I need to parse dates like '070126' to '26 Jan 2007'. I thought I could use the datepicker, but it gives me the an error...

$.datepicker.parseDate('ymmdd', '070126') #=> Missing number at position 6

I am starting to think that this could be a bug...

$.datepicker.parseDate('y-mm-dd', '07-01-26') #=> Fri Jan 26 2007 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)

Any advice?

Thanks..
