Thanks Alan,
I just tried this, but it didn't seam to help any. Even though I've
defined it as type=date in the template tiddler, specifically
"<input name=startdate type=date style="width:100%" />"
When you look at the actual tiddler created the data still seems to be
stored as a string. ie you get:
<<formTiddler ProjectTemplate>><data>
{"projectnumber":"QE09604","startdate":"04/09/2009","closedate":"01/02/2010"}
</data>
So I still thing I need to find some sort of way to convert the date
into a recognised date.
Alternatively perhaps I need to think about being restrictive in the
form about the way dates are entered and force people to select a day,
then month then year, so I can define a format such as YYYY.MM.DD that
when sorted will sort properly.
How do other people manage date fields?
Cheers
Trent
