Display HTML5 DateTime-local base on User's Locale/Culture

How to display the value of this base on user's locale/culture?

Right now it displaying US format (mm/dd/yy) and I need UK format (dd/mm/yy).

I would also like to display base on thes user's locale format or detect where's the user's locale.

Something like the javascript toLocaleString().

<input type="datetime-local" value="">

That is not supported by browser yet. See following post.

http://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2012/Nov/08/HTML5-Input-typedate-Formatting-Issues.

So you need to manage it via server side code for example If you want to do it with ASP.NET here is the post which will help you.

For JavaScript, you need to use tolocalstring as you have mentioned in your question. http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_tolocalestring.asp

navigator.isBritish=(function(){
    return new Date('12/6/2009').getMonth()===5;
})();

Handy for setting up the order of inputs and date displays, anyway.
