Method setDate() of Mobiscroll jQuery Plugin loses format

Question

setDate() works but loses previously set format.

var initialDate = new Date(1984,11,19);
$('#mydate').scroller({
    preset: 'date',
    dateFormat:'dd/mm/yy'        
});
$('#mydate').scroller('setDate', initialDate, true);

Why is that ?

Answer 1

No need to call setdate like that. If you simply passe the date directly on input value, it works pretty well
