Get the value of bootstrap Datetimepicker in JavaScript

Question

I need to get the value of Datetimepicker in my JavaScript function. I have made something like this, but it doesn\'t work:

$(\"#date\").click( function(){

Either use:

$("#datetimepicker1").data("datetimepicker").getDate();

Or (from looking at the page source):

$("#datetimepicker1").find("input").val();

The returned value will be a Date (for the first example above), so you need to format it yourself:

var date = $("#datetimepicker1").data("datetimepicker").getDate(),
    formatted = date.getFullYear() + "-" + (date.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + date.getDate() + " " + date.getHours + ":" + date.getMinutes() + ":" + date.getSeconds();
alert(formatted);

Also, you could just set the format as an attribute:

and you could use the $("#datetimepicker1").find("input").val();
