Date Picker

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 :)

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.

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.
