Hi there,
Tis I yet again :)
I've no idea if this is a bug or not but I've run into the following problem.
Page / User Control contains one (or more) DateField controls.
In setting the "format" property I get mixed results after the page has posted back to the server.
My "format" property was original set to "yyyy/MM/dd", after reading about the specific formats allowed
(from the ext API docs) I ended up using "Y/n/j".
The only problem was that if I set / selected / specified a date and then caused a postback, the DateField
was not reset to the selected / specified value.
I thought that this was strange and then created a test page with 6 DateField controls, each control set to a different format.
Control 1 - 'Y/m/d'
Control 2 - 'Y/n/d'
Control 3 - 'Y/n/j'
Control 4 - 'yyyy/M/d'
Control 5 - 'yyyy/m/d'
Control 6 - 'yyyy/m/j'
Page contains 2 buttons:
1.) To set the date of all controls to the current date
2.) Button to trigger a postback
The following result occurs after setting the default dates and causing the postback:
Control 1 - Date not populated after postback
Control 2 - Date not populated after postback
Control 3 - Date not populated after postback
Control 4 - Date populated correctly
Control 5 - Date populated, but with the incorrect month. Year and Day are correct.
Control 6 - Date not populated after postback
It may be that I'm misunderstanding the allowable / usable Date formats, but I thought you should know my findings :)
Here follows the code for my test page:
