[jquery] get selected value in datePicker and format it

In the datePicker selected 20.04.2012. I want to get this value, format it and store in a variable. I uses this code:

var date = $("#scheduleDate").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd,MM,yyyy' }).val();

But result is 20.04.2012. Also, I tryed this code:

var dateTypeVar = $('#scheduleDate').datepicker('getDate');
$.datepicker.formatDate('dd-MM-yy', dateTypeVar);

Result is Fri Apr 20 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0600.

I want to get the following: 20, April, 2012
How to format properly?
Thanks.

Use jquery-dateFormat. It will solve your problem.

You need to include the jquery.dateFormat in your html file.

<script>
var date = $('#scheduleDate').val();
document.write($.format.date(date, "dd,MM,yyyy"));

var dateTypeVar = $('#scheduleDate').datepicker('getDate');
document.write($.format.date(dateTypeVar, "dd-MM-yy"));
</script>

var dateObject = $("#datePickerInput").datepicker('getDate');
$.datepicker.formatDate('dd MM, yy', dateObject);

$('#scheduleDate').datepicker({ dateFormat : 'dd, MM, yy'});

var dateFormat = $('#scheduleDate').datepicker('option', 'dd, MM, yy');

$('#scheduleDate').datepicker('option', 'dateFormat', 'dd, MM, yy');

var result = $('#scheduleDate').val();

alert('result: ' + result);

result: 20, April, 2012
