jQuery UI datepicker parseDate method does not parse 20140906

I am using the following code, however, the $.datepicker.parseDate method fails to parse 20140906 when I specify the format yyMMdd. How to parse this format in date picker?

function setValueDateRange(){
    if($("#businessDate").val()!=null && $("#businessDate").val()!='' && $("#businessDate").val()!='undefined'){
        var tillDateMin = $.datepicker.parseDate(GLOBAL_DATE_FORMAT,  $("#businessDate").val());
        tillDateMin.setDate(tillDateMin.getDate()+3);
        $("#paymentValueDateBatch").datepicker( "option", "minDate", tillDateMin);
    }

}

// GLOBAL_DATE_FORMAT-> yyMMdd
// $("#businessDate").val()->20140906

$.datepicker.parseDate parses a string, and returns a date object. Note that the date format in the first argument tells parseDate how to parse the given date etc.

You're using yyMMdd, so it expects a date given like this 

$.datepicker.parseDate('yyMMdd', '2014september06');

The month formats are as follows

  • mm - month of year (two digit)
  • M - month name short
  • MM - month name long

Here's some valid examples

$.datepicker.parseDate('yymmdd', '20140906');
$.datepicker.parseDate('dd/mm/yy', '06/09/2014');

FIDDLE
