date picker bug

Hi everyone,

We just discovered a curious bug with the date picker which is used in French on our production forms.

If you type the birth date 5.4.1963 it automatically jumps to 5.5.1963. If you use the date picker to select the first date, the date is transformed to 1963-05-05.

We are using the nightly build 20090324.

Thanks if anyone has a solution...

This reminds me of an issue that we had at some point, and which, I
thought, was fixed. Could you submit a simple example that runs in
the sandbox and shows the problem?

Re: Re: date picker bug

hi Alessandro/Einar,

There is (or was) a bug in the javascript file xforms-min.js
the cunstruction

var X = new Date();
X.setDate(....);
X.setMonth(....);
X.setYear(...);

Should be changed to:
var X = new Date();
X.setYear(...);
X.setMonth(....);
X.setDate(....);

Not sure if this also fixes the bug from Einar

regards Ramon

Ah, yes, now I remember! That was fixed in the code on September 15,
2008, and I put a link to the bug below for reference. So the problem
shouldn't be happening anymore in nightly builds. Einar, are you
saying that you still see this behavior with nightly builds?

Re: Re: Re: date picker bug

Hi Alessandro,

Indeed it seems to occur only on an older version of Orbeon on a production server. We are migrating to new servers on which we deployed the latest nightly built where I cannot reproduce that bug.

Thanks,

Excellent. Thank you for confirming that.
