Now I need to convert the above value to below string "5/9/2011"开发者_JS百科.

Please help....

Not a jQuery issue - see the Javascript Date Object documentation

var d = new Date('Mon May 9 00:00:00 UTC+0530 2011');
var d_formatted = d.getDate() + '/' + d.getMonth() '/' + d.getFullYear();

You can make a Date object from the text with new Date, then simply make a string using the methods on the Date object, i.e.:

var date = new Date(someDate);
var str = date.getMonth() + "/" + date.getDate() + "/" + date.getFullYear();

Looking at the format of your date, it is probably already a Date object that is being represented as a string, so invoking the appropriate methods on it (second line) will give you the representation you want.

Try this:

$( ".selector" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy' });
