Populating Jquery datepicker with date returned from asp.net web api

I am having problems with something that should be trivial. I have a web api that returns dates in the following format:

2014-01-06T09:46:12.7819007+01:00

If I am not mistaking, this is a very common iso format. When I feed it to the jQuery datepicker it interprets this date as 7323-10-27. The problem seems to be the time segment of the date.

This: 2014-01-06T09:46:12.7819007+01:00 Gets parsed as: 7323-10-27

This: 2014-01-06T09:45:35 Gets parsed as: 2019-10-03

This: 2014-01-06T09:45:35 Gets parsed as: 2019-08-29

This: 2014-01-06 Gets parsed, not surprisingly, as: 2014-01-06

So how do I tell the datepicker to ignore the time part of the date? I tried fiddling with the dateFormat option to no avail.

Try converting that string to an actual Date and give that to the datepicker:

var defaultDate = new Date('2014-01-06T09:46:12.7819007+01:00');

When supplying the date as a string it need to match the dateFormat parameter, but creating a format for that in JS will be a headache that's best avoided.
