How to get the Datepicker to work?

How to fix a MooTools DatePicker that stops working after changing the date format.

Overview

The calendar fails to open and acts as a text field because the date format setting may conflict with the MooTools library.
Refer to the official FAQ on formatting dates in the DatePicker to correct the format string and restore functionality.

Hello,

I already found the area where to change the date format of the picker to m-d-Y but when I do so, the calendar on my form will not work, when you click on the calendar field(ex. Birthday) it'll act as text input and calendar will not show.

Joomla mootools library are loaded in the template..

Please help.

DatePicker Settings: %m-%d-%Y
DatePicker Type: MooTools DatePicker

can be seen
