I have recently changed my page so my date that is held in a textbox is in the European Format, ie DD/MM/YYYY
The problem is all of my other javascript functions expect it in the 'normal' format.
Is there a way I can change the format I now have it in back, so:
datevariable = document.getElementById('date').value;
switches back from dd/MM/yyyy to MM/dd/yyyy
