I'm creating a Google Analytics Dashboard. In there the Start Date & End Date is inserted using JQuery Date Picker. I am inserting dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format. But I want to submit them in the yyyy-mm-dd. I have used the following code to do that.

JavaScript

$("#to_date, #from_date").datepicker({maxDate: new Date(),dateFormat:'yyyy-mm-dd'});

At there the date inserted as 20142014-07-01 not as 2014-07-01. So I changed the format to yy-mm-dd. After that I got an error when after submit this date saying

" **{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"global","reason":"invalidParameter","message":"Invalid value ' 2014-07-24 '. Values must match the following regular expression: '[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}|today|yesterday|[0-9]+(daysAgo)'","locationType":"parameter","location":"end-date"},{"domain":"global","reason":"invalidParameter","message":"Invalid value ' 2014-07-01 '. Values must match the following regular expression: '[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}|today|yesterday|[0-9]+(daysAgo)'","locationType":"parameter","location":"start-date"}],"code":400,"message":"Invalid value ' 2014-07-24 '. Values must match the following regular expression: '[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}|today|yesterday|[0-9]+(daysAgo)'"}}** "

I am using JavaScript.

I cannot understand what should I do. Can anyone show me how to do this?

Thnaks & regards,

The format string for the datepicker widget uses yy to represent the four-digit year. By setting the format to yyyy-mm-dd, you've told it to put the four-digit year followed by the four-digit year, which is why you're getting 20142014.

Change the date format to yy-mm-dd and you should get the correct output.
