Re: [tw] Re: Entering dates in TW5

Thanks for the response and the reassurance that "date support isn't complete". I expressed an "enthusiastic" opinion prematurely, only because I'm excited by the apparent capabilities that are emerging from your excellent work. On Monday, December 16, 2013 4:20:34 AM UTC-5, Jeremy Ruston wro

[tw] Re: Entering dates in TW5

There are some provisions in HTML5 for this sort of thing. So, for example, I have a field called send_date and if I use HTML5's type attribute on the element, the browser (Chrome for example) will render a date-selector. The value is stored as something like 2013-12-01 <$edit-text field="send_

Re: [tw] Re: Entering dates in TW5

I'm not sure if you're asking for ISO 8601 to be used as the serialisation format for dates in the TW HTML file, or if you're asking for ISO 8601 as the format that a human would type to enter a date? Anyhow, date support isn't complete in TW5, there's really only enough there to get the created a

+1 for ISO 8601 !! Y2K was a great waste of resources and I'd prefer to see less resources consumed by the various conversions. On Saturday, December 14, 2013 1:49:10 PM UTC-5, Stephan Hradek wrote: > > I vote for ISO 8601 to store the > dates. > > Pros >

I vote for ISO 8601 to store the dates. Pros - human readable - established, known standard - contains the time zone - can even store dates before 1970 Cons - Plugins need to convert -- You received this message because you are subsc

Date handling is quite a mess, since "what ever you do, it will be wrong". Let me explain. You want to have an input like: DD mmm I want to insert a date like this: 0MM 0DD eg: 2013 08 28 So how ever you store your date. If I would have to use it I'd want to have a possibility to ad

[tw] Re: Entering dates in TW5

I'll assume the answer to my question is that provision do not exist in TW5 for entering date/time in a human readable format. If that is the case, I'm interested in how other TW5 developers enable their users to enter dates and times. Thanks, Jim On Thursday, December 12, 2013 6:24:49 PM UTC
