SetDate will not set date

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
<input name="arrival_date" class="datetime scroller" type="datetime-local" 
data-value="2012-02-22T15:33:00Z" value="22/02/2012 03:33 PM" readonly="" 
id="scoller1330286602128">

2. $('.datetime').each(function(){var datetime = new 
Date($(this).attr('data-value'));$(this).scroller({preset: 
'datetime'});$(this).scroller('setDate', datetime)})

Expect scroller to show date object passed to 'setDate'
Instead shows current date and time

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
mobiscroll 1.5.3
Google Chrome 17.0.963.56 m

Looks like 'setDate' is not working as excepted. On scroller pop up, Mobiscroll 
tries to parse the input value, and reverts to current date, if value cannot be 
parsed, so the value set with 'setDate' gets lost. There is a third boolean 
parameter for 'setDate', if set to true, it updates the input value as well 
($(this).scroller('setDate', datetime, true))

But in your case all the hustle is completely unnecessary, because Mobiscroll 
parses automatically the date from the input value. Your problem is, that your 
input has a date in dd/mm/yy format, while Mobiscroll defaults to mm/dd/yy. So 
your solution is, to override the default dateformat:

$('.datetime').scroller({preset: 'datetime', dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'});
