I need to permit my users (of my app) to input dates. I am so
enthralled with how easy some things are in webobjects and I can not
seem to find an easy solution to my problem.
I want the user to be able to type in 02152010 or 2-15-2010 or
2/15/2010 and the input would properly format to what I am telling
the format to be.
ERChronic in Wonder should be able to infer the intended date.
ie. you type 02152010 and tab to the next field and the date is
formatted to 02.15.2010.
If you want it to change on tab, then you either need an JavaScript
solution, or Ajax to send that field to the server, have ERChronic
translate it, then return an updated value for display.
I am hoping someone will tell me there is an easy framework that can
do this and I have been barking up the wrong tree...
You could use the AjaxDatePicker and avoid having the user type
anything at all.
