davo Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The date field input format picker is a little confusing for me. The two examples are 08/04/2012 and 04/08/2012, but don't make it obvious which is the month and which is the day. Maybe use a date where it would be impossible to get it wrong? Like 14/08/2012. Just an idea 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjen Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 You can see August in other examples, but it might be more obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveP Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Aaah, US dates vs Euro dates! (Current project I'm on uses loads of dates & front-end datepickers ) Top Tip - PHP's strtotime() will assume 08/04/2012 is US date i.e. August 4th, but 08-04-2012 will be interpreted as Euro i.e. 8th April.

davo Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thank you. I ended up kicking myself last night as my form wasn't creating the page fields properly just because the date was back to front. Shouldn't be a problem but as the example used 08/04 and 04/08 I had no way of knowing if it was mmdd or ddmm. If the example used a dd over 12 it would be more obvious to fools like me To add to my grumpiness I found that the HTML 5 date picker isn't supported by ie or Firefox.
