Rails 3 jquery date picker date not saving to database

Question

When I submit my form I can see the date being sent to in the post. However, It doesn\'t save the date. If I do a date check it says it is not in the proper format. Here

Answer 1

j('.jquery-calendar').datepicker().each(function(){
  // convert dates from db to US format
  var $input = j(this)
  var found = $input.val().match(/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})$/);
  if(found){
    $input.val(found[2]+'/'+found[3]+'/'+found[1]);
  }
});
