Many thanks Tim! I dropped the DateField component and tried a simple text box, plus your suggestion and it works. So even though the database table field is defined as a Date, the AMFPHP is bringing it in as a string. The key part to this was .toString()
Okay, so now back to an original dilemma. When using the DateField component, I get a full UTC date output. I¹ve been able to use labelFunction and DateFormatter and a couple others to get close to the required format of YYYY-MM-DD, but what I end up with is YYYY-MM-D, because apparently 1 through 9 are not represented with a leading zero (01, 02, etc) If I cannot match the string in the db, it won¹t work, correct? Any hints on this? -- Blair From: Tim Hoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:58:19 -0000 To: <[email protected]> Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Help: filterFunction and Dates Ideally, in the result function, the dto would be cast to an associated AS class as a VO; making it strongly typed. This can be done automatically by using [RemoteClass(alias="com.myDTO")] in a VO class; but that's a more involved topic. So, let's take this one step at a time. What is the data type of item.Date_Collected? You can find this by inspecting the the object in debug mode. If it's a string, try this in your filter function: return item.Date_Collected == dfconv.format(wholeDate.selectedDate).toString(); The key is to compare apples to apples. If one side is an apple and the other is an orange, you have to turn the orange into an apple before comparing. -TH
