Date on server is in long format

Why id date on server received as ‘Fri Sep 09 2011 10:35:00 GMT+0500 (Pakistan Standard Time)’ and not 09/09/2011? While I set the date format on client as:

        var dt = myForm.getCalendar("OrderDt");
        dt.setDateFormat("%d/%m/%Y");

In the attributes of a calendar item try to add

serverDateFormat: "%d/%m/%Y",

Setting serverDateFormat="%d/%m/%Y in xml does not help either. I am getting the date in the same long format.

Please provide a complete demo to reconstruct an issue.

Hello,

I had the same problem. No effect with serverDateFormat in XML.

After replaced the form and calendar libs from this recent thread :

http://forum.dhtmlx.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20250

The problem is solved for saving. Server dates are now in the good format.
but there’s now a regression :

When the data are loaded in the form, dates are not displayed anymore (the date value is still here but not displayed in the form).

Thanks for your help,
