set right dateformat with jquery datepicker

I'm trying to set the the date format to 'dd-mm-yy'

Here is my script, but this doesn't seem to work. It still displays the standard 'mm-dd-yy'

What I'm I doing wrong. Here is my script:

<script>
    $(function () {
        $("#datepickerStartDate").datepicker();
        $("#format").change(function () {
            $("#datepickerStartDate").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy' }).val();
        });
    });
</script>

I believe you are looking for this:

<script>
    $(function () {
        $("#datepickerStartDate").datepicker();
        $("#format").change(function () {
            $( "#datepickerStartDate" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'dd-mm-yy' );
        });
    });
</script>

After your comment, I think you are actually looking for this:

<script>
    $(function () {
        $("#datepickerStartDate").datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy" });
    });
</script>

If not, please let me know exactly what you want to achieve with which html-elements.
