DateTimePicker in firefox?

I used the wizard to create a form. For one of the fields i used the datetimepicker. When I test the form with firefox I can not type anything in the field. However, when I use IE7 I get the date icon and the picker opens up when i go into the field.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Hi Thomas,

Not an issue that I know about so far. Is the form on-line so we can take a look? Sounds like it may be a JavaScript conflict.

Hi Thomas,

Which Chronoforms version do you have ? can I look at the page ?

Max

I just downloaded the latest version yesterday. The zip says v3.1 rc2. Should I have used 3.0?

I will send you the URL privately.

Hi Thomas,

A bit of a guess here - I can't obviously see why the calendar isn't showing up in FireFox (usually IE is the browser that breaks things).

Bu, please try this - change the id of the field to match the name - so replace id="date_31" in

<input class=cf_datetime" maxlength="-1" size="20" id="date_31" name="ShipmentReadyDate" type="text" >

with id="ShipmentReadyDate"

I was have the same issue, your suggestion Bob to change the ID value worked.

Thank you, this did indeed fix my problem!

The lesson here (for me) was that if you add a date field using the wizard you have to go back and modify the html so the name matches the id.


On a side note, I'm not sure I am going to be able to use the date picker because of the format of dd/mm/yyyy. This will be confusing for my clients and the only threads I saw on how to fix this required fixing the code. I am weary to do this and risk breaking compatibility on an upgrade.

Hi tzavaleta,

Doesn't everyone now use dd/mm/yyyy?

There's a Date Format option in the General Tab of the Form Manager that I think will change this for you.

I think everyone does in the US 🙂

Sorry I missed that it works great! Thank you so much for you support.

Hi,

@Bob, nice catch for the id,name issue🙂

@Thomas, Brad, I will fix this, Glad you found the solution for now!
