I am trying to display date in dd/mm/yyyy and the value should be store as yyyymmdd in a variable.
dd/mm/yyyy is displayed correct but the value is not storing in format yyyymmdd it is showing as yyyymd
like if I select 02/03/2022 it is storing as 202232 which is incorrect as it has to be store as 20220302.
var strDateTimeEntry; $(function () { $("#entrydate").datepicker({ //date format for displaying dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy", }); $("#entrydate").change(function () { var date = $(this).datepicker("getDate"); //date format for storing strDateTimeEntry = date.getFullYear() + "" + (date.getMonth() + 1) + "" + date.getDate(); $("#EntryDateDisplay").text(strDateTimeEntry); alert(strDateTimeEntry); }); });

You just need to pad your month and day.
strDateTimeEntry = date.getFullYear() + "" + (date.getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, '0') + "" + date.getDate().toString().padStart(2, '0');
Here’s a fiddle example that takes a Date object and displays output in the required format.
