Ahh, when I went to update the post it erased the first post....

I am using a date picker on a form for webervations and I need to know how to get the date into the necessary format of "zday", "zmonth" and "zyear". Form code is below:

<div class="cellform">Arrival date</div>
<form method="post" action="http://www.webervations.com/magic-scripts/resbook.asp" target="_blank" name="form1" id="room-reservation-form">
<div class="cellform">
<input id="datepicker_1" name="Date" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="cellform">Nights?</div>
<div class="cellform">
<select name="zlength">
<option value="1" selected="selected">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="11">11</option>
<option value="12">12</option>
<option value="13">13</option>
<option value="14">14</option>
</select></div>
<input type="hidden" name="zday" id="zday" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="zmonth" id="zmonth" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="zyear" id="zyear" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="showit" value="Y">
<input type="hidden" name="cbp" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="zcaller" value="xxx">
<input type="hidden" name="memberid" value="xxx">

<div class="cellform"><input name="Submit" value="Check Availability" type="submit"></div>

Here is the related javascripts:

var tElm = $('#datepicker_1');
if (typeof datepicker_1_Spry != null && typeof datepicker_1_Spry != "undefined" && Date_Spry.validate) {
datepicker_1_Spry.validate();
}
var docElm = document.getElementById("datepicker_1");
var tBlur = docElm.getAttribute("onBlur");

tBlur = String(tBlur).replace(/\bthis\b/g, "docElm");
eval(tBlur);

the format is controlled by this line:
dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy',


change that to:
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',

to use day month year format.
