parsedate after getDate method in jquery UI datepicker

I have this code currently:

   $('#cal').datepicker({
                    onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { 
      var dateAsString = dateText; //the first parameter of this function
      var dateAsObject = $(this).datepicker( 'getDate' ); //the getDate method

   }
                });

I wanted to know how I can call parseDate on dateAsObject to format it as such: YYYY/MM/DD. To store into mysql DATE field

you can add this :

dateFormat: '{dateFormat}'

     $('#cal').datepicker({
         dateFormat: 'YYYY/MM/DD',
         onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { 
         var dateAsString = dateText; //the first parameter of this function

       }
     });

There is no direct date formatter in JavaScript. You can either use any jQuery plugin to format the date as per your required format or you can just use this code to get the date formatted as per your requirement.

dateAsObject.getFullYear()+"/"+(dateAsObject.getMonth()+1)+"/"+ dateAsObject.getDate()
