title: convert date from dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd in javascript
body: <p>Okay so I have a table with a column date and date values like " 2013-05-03 " since the table is dynamically filled. I have converted the date using php and the date now looks 
  like " 03/05/2013"</p>
  
  <p>php conversion:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td&gt; &lt;?php echo date("d/m/Y", strtotime($row['date'])) ?&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Since I have a edit functionality in my page and I also use 
  I want to convert the date back to its original format so that chrome could recognize it</p>
  
  <pre><code>var date = new Date(feed date in dd/mm/yyyy format);
      $("#customer_date").val(date);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried the above method. But looks like the conversion doesn't happen.
  what could be a different approach?
  thanks!</p>
