change date format in jquery?

Question

I have a dateFormat in my onLoad function.Its format is like "Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 IST 2016".I need to change it to dd/mm/yy format.

My jsp field where i have to display the date

<input type="hidden" id="dateFormat" value="${per.ArrDate}">

My onLoad method

$(document).ready(function(){
  alert("inside onload");
  var dateFormat=$('#dateFormat').val();
  alert($.datepicker.formatDate('dd/mm/yy', new Date(dateFormat)));
});

How to change to "dd/mm/yy" format for the above input "Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 IST 2016".Any help will be highly appreciable.

Have server send valid ISO date string or you will need to write a parser yourself to be able to convert to date — charlietfl, Jan 19 '16 at 14:00
@charlietfl Server send a valid date format.ie "Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 IST 2016" i have to convert it to dd/mm/yy format. — Miller, Jan 20 '16 at 04:22
no, that is clearly not a valid date string format that javascript Date recognizes. Try it yourself with `new Date()` and pass in your date string — charlietfl, Jan 20 '16 at 05:29
yeah ...i tried that format ,but it returns nan/nan/nan ....Due to that i have done it using jstl.... — Miller, Jan 20 '16 at 05:51

Use this: https://github.com/phstc/jquery-dateFormat

 document.write($.format.date("Wed Jan 13 10:43:41 CET 2010", "dd~MM~yyyy"));
