 <p>Yes it is possible, have a look at the <code>dateFormat</code> option in the <a href="http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-dateFormat" rel="nofollow">API Documentation</a> for the datepicker</p> <p>This will work,</p> <pre><code>jQuery('.datetimepicker').datetimepicker({ timeFormat: 'HH:mm', dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" }); </code></pre>
