title: How do I control the date format submitted on Firefox?
body: <p>This is specific to Firefox v 32.0.3 on Mac 10.9.5 with jQuery 1.8.2.  I have the following HTML element on my page</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input id="myDate" name="myDate" placeholder="My Date" value="" type="date"&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On Firefox, I need to invoke the following jQuery to get the picker to render properly …</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#myDate").datepicker({ format: "mm-dd-yyyy", altFormat: "mm-dd-yyyy" });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I submit my form, the date is submitted in the format mm/dd/yyyy, and I can’t figure out why.  Any ideas how I can control (on Firefox) how the format of how the date gets submitted?  It would be nice if there were a cross-browser solution to this, but I’ll start with the basics.</p>
