I am test date entry via a simple form. For now I enter a date into a text box, then create a Date object using the text entered and then display the date (via alert at present).
var dateString = form.dateBox.value; var myDate = new Date(dateString); alert(myDate.toString()); My Javascript book suggests that the dateString in Date(dateString) is anything that can be parsed by static function Date.parse(). My book doesn't indicate that a default format can be set. My preferred entry format is DD/MM/YYYY, actually I would prefer not to have to "fix" on a format for the text entry. Performing some simple testing It appears that provided the dateString is of a similar format to the following then all is okay: MM/DD/YYYY, DD MMM YYYY (and there simple variations) Is there a configuration option to set this format? Or will I need to write my own date parsing function? I had a look at the DatePlugin but could not see options or functions. I have found http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/date/ which has some ideas I was thinking of using. Finally is there a way to internationalize the the Month and Day names on entry? So if I were to use DD MMM YYYY format, where MMM is the non English version of the month what would I have to do? Is there a way to configure the month/day names some array or other structure? Ideally I would like to generalize, but in the worst case and translate the TW on a needs basis. Hope this make sense. If I should be asking this in a different forum please let me know?
