Calendar - Joomla 1.5 - Empty Input Field with FF 2.0

kesha 20 Apr, 2009
Hi. I am using chronoforms 3.1 RC4.11 with Joomla 1.5 . With IE it works fine.
With FF 2.0 I can view the calendar, but after selecting the date, the input field of my form remains empty. The "id" and "name" parameters of input are the same. And there are no JS or other errors on the page.
I've looked around the forums for a solution, but I coudn't find any similar problem... Please help!

Hi Kesha,

There shouldn't be any problems with FF 2.0 that I know of. Is the page on-line so we can take a look?

Good news! Viewing the html source code I noticed that the Date input field of my form had the property MAXLENGTH set to "-1" (maxlength="-1"). I guess this is done to prevent the field from being modified by user, but unfortunately this method works only on IE and not on FF. I chamged form code from:
<input class="cf_datetime required" maxlength="-1" title="" size="20" id="date_10" name="date_10" type="text" />
to:
<input class="cf_datetime required" readonly="readonly" title="" size="20" id="date_10" name="date_10" type="text" />
Now it works fine!
I hope it helps!
