Change date format with jQuery UI DatePicker

I have an inline datepicker using jQuery UI, like so:

<div id="datepicker"></div>
I then retrieve the date in Javascript: 
// retrieve date
var dt = $('#datepicker').val());
The result is a date: for example:  7/19/11, but I need to redisplay it in this format: d MM, yyyy.
Is there no way to specify a format mask when retrieving the date from DatePicker?

Thanks.

Try this code...


// Change the format as required...
var dt =  $('#datepicker').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'd-MM-yyyy' });
