title: jQuery Date Picker Input Date Format
body: <p>I'm currently working on some coding for a hotel booking widget and am using the jQuery UI Date Picker.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is the external booking system the client is using processes the date format as <code>yyyy-mm-dd</code> and the client thinks this is confusing people seeing <code>2012-06-19</code> in the input box and would like the date shown as in the European format <code>dd-mm-yyyy</code> instead on their site.</p>
  
  <p>So basically the form needs to show <code>dd-mm-yyyy</code> when the date is picked and then when the submit button is click on the form somehow the date needs to rearrange to <code>yyyy-mm-dd</code> before sending the value.</p>
  
  <p>The booking system company say they have many clients that have achieved this but have said they are not 100% sure how this is done.</p>
