[jQuery] datepicker and setdate

[graphic...@googlemail.com]

Hi,

This setDate is driving me mad !  I can't set the date of the controls
programatically.

  //create range datepickers
  $("#start , #end").datepicker({
    showOn: "button",
    buttonImage: "images/calendar.gif",
    buttonImageOnly: true,
    beforeShow: customRange,
    hideIfNoPrevNext: true,
    showStatus: true,
    duration: "",
    dateFormat: "dd MM yy"
  }).attr("readonly", "readonly");



  $(start).datepicker("setDate", "10 Mar 2008");

  displays non-sense date such as 14 august 2014....

Is there something I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks
