DateTime picker bug

Dortalin 05 Sep, 2012
So - I use the DateTime picker as part of an application form, where people must choose their date of birth, but it seems there is a bug in it. It shows up well enough, then you click the year and it shows as if you can now pick the month, however, if you do not click one more time in the spot the correct year is, then it will select a different year before it will let you select the month. I am lost as to what causes this, and I very much hope that you will be able to give me some directions.
You can see it in action at http://www.faks.dk/forside/2012-03-05-11-55-48/indmeldelse - it's the field called "Fødselsdag".

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,

Please try to switch to the "Mootools Datepicker", click the form name in the forms manager, scroll down and change the setting there, you must have J1.6 or above for this to work.

I've run into this same problem.
Changing to the mootools option did solve that scenario.
But now if I select a date, and then try and select a new date, the picker defaults to 1969. Any idea why it does that?

Hi jneubauer,

1969 is the default '0000-00-00' date so I guess that an empty or blank value is being picked up somewhere. Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hi jneubauer,

Hmm, I haven't seent hat before, or perhaps just not noticed it. I suspect it is because the date format it d-m-y rather than y-m-d. You could try switching that back and see if it makes a difference.

You might also want to set a minDate to block any past dates.

I will definitely try that - but I haven't actually changed anything - the date format is at it's default installed values, I haven't touched them.

Hi jneubauer,

Sorry about that, my mistake.
