Date picker format for Blackberry webworks?

Question

I am unable to change format in Blackberry web works application. I used this code for date picker

<input type="date" name="from_date" id="from_date" />

Here it displays date like yyyy-mm-dd but I need dd-mm-yyyy.

Seeing that Blackberry supports the input type=date, seems that it is not possible to change the date format yet. (Which was also stated on this SO Question)

I suggest you do one of these things instead :

1. Create a custom date picker using jQuery UI
2. If you want to have the Blackberry feel, create a java extension for the date picker.
3. Let the current input type date format on your app and just build the dd-mm-yyyy format on your javascript using the Date functions.
