NOTE!
- The dateFormat option was modified in version 2.0.23 (not part of the original plugin).
- The dateFormat option will ONLY work with the
shortDateparser. - The date can be separated by any of the following: slash, dash, period, comma, space(s) or tab (/-., ).
- This date format parser will only work with a four digit year. You can write your own if you need a two digit year parser.
- In versions 2.3+, date formats can be set by column using any of the following methods (they all do the same thing), in order of priority:
- jQuery data
data-date-format="mmddyyyy"(see the Javascript block below on how to set it directly;data-dateFormatis equivalent todata-date-format). - metadata
class="{ dateFormat: "mmddyyyy" }". This requires the metadata plugin. - headers option
headers : { 0 : { dateFormat: "mmddyyyy" } }. - header class name
class="dateFormat-mmddyyyy". - Global (all columns)
dateFormatoption setting.
- jQuery data
