Oct 8, 2018 at 2:01 comment added user275801 @DavidWalschots most software and operating systems I've seen requires you to "opt-out" of the american m-d-y format. In that sense, it is in fact "forced". In fact my linux has all the regional settings for Australia, but my browser (an american browser, if it can be called that) still takes it upon itself to display all dates in m-d-y format, and in this case I'm unable to "opt-out".

Jun 27, 2014 at 15:31 comment added Tilt You are referring to the presentation format, because if you try to read the input.val(), google chrome (v35) returns the date in format yyyy-mm-dd, whatever the presentation format is ;)
Aug 22, 2012 at 8:49 comment added David Walschots The DD-MM-YYYY format you mention is probably your local calendar format. It is not wise (and as far as I can see, impossible within the current HTML5 standards) to force a specific format on visitors of a website, because they might be used to a calendar format different from the one you force upon them.
