jQuery localtime, getting a non-supported date/time string error

I'm using the following plugin: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-localtime/wiki/Usage

My elements are rendered on the page with JS so I apply the plugin to the element as follows:

    var format = "dd/MM/yy HH:mm a";
    var localise = function () {
        jQuery(this).text(jQuery.localtime.toLocalTime(jQuery(this).text(), format));
    };
    jQuery(".localtime").each(localise);

Problem is this results in the following error:

Uncaught Error: 01/06/12 14:43 PM is not a supported date/time string
jquery.localtime-0.5.js:183

The text being passed to the plugin looks like this "2012-06-01T21:43:15Z" any ideas? Am I calling the plugin incorrectly? Thanks

The problem is that the localtime plugin automatically applies the formatting on the page load; so the formatting is applied when the page loads, and again using the code you supply above.

Either prevent the plugin from applying the style by default:

<script type="text/javascript">$.localtime.setFormat({});</script>

Or remove your code that attempts to re-apply it a second time.
