Morning guys,
Can anyone help with DateFormat and LSDateFormat?
The fact that cf still assumes that i want my dates in mm/dd/yyyy format is a little more than annoying. My locale gets set in the
Application.cfm, and i have also put the au locale in the JVM.
My dates keep getting translated into mm/dd/yyyy even if i use DateFormat to format it the other way around. It wouldn't be such a big problem if
i could predict when it would do this. but it seems to only happen on certain dates.
I have also tried using LSDateFormat, but i run into all sorts of
trouble when using time stamps from the database. It throws an error telling me that
au_AU is not a valid locale, or that the timestamp is not a valid date format.
I don't understand why dates aren't Locale Specific by default. but I really need to find a way around this.
Any advice? tips and tricks you guys use? I hope that Blackstone has much better support for LS dates.
Please help. Ricardo.
