This is the code I had to use to get it to work properly. I'm not sure what
happens exactly - the gist is that the datepicker is assuming and American
style date, even if you have set bUseEuroDate = "yes".
<!---Check if date already exists, if not, set to today's date. --->
<cfif Trim(attributes.contextdata.PublicationDate) NEQ "">
<cfset thisDate = DateFormat(attributes.contextdata.PublicationDate,
"dd/mm/yyyy")>
<cfelse>
<cfset thisDate = DateFormat(Now(), "dd/mm/yyyy")>
</cfif>
#thisDate#<br>
<!--- create date for datepicker to use --->
<cfset DatepickerDate = CreateODBCDate(thisDate)>
<!--- datepicker --->
<CFA_DATEPICKER name="#attributes.contextname#.PublicationDate"
defaultDate="#DateFormat(DatepickerDate, 'dd/m/yyyy')#"
bUseEuroDates="Yes"
startYear="2001"
formName="#attributes.contextname#">
hope this helps.

The date picker default date needs to be explicitly date-masked:
defaultDate="#DateFormat(DatepickerDate, 'dd/m/yyyy')#".
This is because the cfa_datepicker code has some holes in it, obviously
patched by Mak Wing Lok.
Otherwise it is a handy tool.

i face this problem before and since i'm using UK date format for all my
application, i modified the cfa_datepicker code where it only process date
in UK format.
