bootstrap datepicker setDate format dd/mm/yyyy

Question

I have to set the date in my datepicker in dd/mm/yyyy format. Whet I'm trying to do, with Javascript is this: ``` var year = 2014; var month = 5; var day = 10; var realDate = new Date(year, month - 1, day); // months are 0-based! $('#MainContent_txtDataConsegna').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yyyy' }); // format to show $('#MainContent_txtDataConsegna').datepicker('setDate', realDate); ``` the problem is that the value inside my datepicker is always in format mm/dd/yyyy. Where is the problem?? Here the definition datepicker and datepicker options: ```

/span>

```
