MooTools Date Picker Problem

Hey Bob,

I was researching into changing the date format, displayed when using the date picker and found the FAQ: http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/64-cfv4/cfv4-using-the-datepicker/5126-how-can-i-format-a-date-in-the-datepicker.html

What I have found is, that when anything is placed into the DateTime Picker config field, such as '%m-%d-%Y' it cause the form layout to break.

The form itself is consists of a set of tabs which is laid out correctly, but once the config field is updated then all the tabs stack below each other.

Just wondered if you had any other reports of date picker breaking tabbed layouts.

Hello K2Joom,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
Datepicker problems with FireFox
Date control using CFv5 date picker element
How can I format a date in the datepicker?
How can I set a default date for a datepicker?
How can I set start and end dates for a datepicker?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

I love this automated response🙂

On this occasion, the suggestions did not help, but appreciate your efforts.

Hi Simon,

It shouldn't break anything. What exactly are you putting where? Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hi Bob,

You are right, it shouldn't break anything and it won't if the correct data is entered in to the DatePicker Config field.

If anyone else has a problem, make sure you enter

format: '%m-%d-%Y'

and not

'%m-%d-%Y'

.
The later will break the layout.

Operator error, even after RTFM.

Sorry for wasting your time Bob.
