[SOLVED] dateField formatting problem

[catacaustic]

I've got some dateField areas on one of my forms to allow so that I can read in dates. The problem that I'm facing is that I need to interact with a back-end system that reads dates as the "Unix" style of "YYYY-MM-DD" and my customer needs to see the dates in the format "d/m/YYYY" when they are entered into the dateField area.

I know that I can set the format to be the correct one as far as the display goes, but how do I get the format correct when I'm submitting the dates to the remote script that needs them in a different format? I've looked and can't see anything that can help me on this one.

Is there no way to do this? I thought there'd have to be something out there that'd work?

Maybe...

form.submit(
	{
		failure: function() {...},
		params:	{
			...
			dateWithFormat: form.findField('datefield').getValue().format('Y/m/d'),
			...
		},
		success: function() {...}
		url: '...'
	}
);

where 'datafield' is the id or name of the Ext.form.DateField in the form and dateWithFormat is the parameter received by the script in the server side...
