The following example shows how you can override the Date.format and Date.firstDayOfWeek to make the date picker behave as expected in your locale. Date.firstDayOfWeek should be set to a number between 0 (Sunday) and 6 (Saturday)
Date.firstDayOfWeek = 0; Date.format = 'mm/dd/yyyy'; $(function() { $('.date-pick').datePicker() });
/* located in demo.css and creates a little calendar icon * instead of a text link for "Choose date" */ a.dp-choose-date { float: left; width: 16px; height: 16px; padding: 0; margin: 5px 3px 0; display: block; text-indent: -2000px; overflow: hidden; background: url(calendar.png) no-repeat; } a.dp-choose-date.dp-disabled { background-position: 0 -20px; cursor: default; } /* makes the input field shorter once the date picker code * has run (to allow space for the calendar icon */ input.dp-applied { width: 140px; float: left; }
