While looking around for datepicker libraries, I came across this helpful guide on how you can use native datepickers for most, if not all, required datepicker functionality. Sure, it may not be as flashy as the JS enhanced or framework alternatives, but still worth considering IMO.
You must log in or register to comment.
Also: Firefox on desktop supports time input but does not provide a time picker. This is very confusing in the datetime input where you only see a date picker but then have to type the time manually. There is a long-standing issue open about this.
I am sorry, but it works for me. Can you please give a link for the issue. in the above website only, when i visit, all date fields have a calendar icon next to them, which when I click, a gtk date picker pops up (is this something that works on linux and not elsewhere or something like that?)
Sure, here is a Screenshot of only the datepicker showing on the datetime input:
And this is the 12 year old bugticket about that problem: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=datetime
On AniDB I can enter
dd.MM.yyyyoryyyy-MM-dd(text input), which I like a lot. I often prefer reading and writingyyyy-MM-dd.Some time ago I changed my Windows number format settings to show me
yyyy-MM-ddformats. Unfortunately, that broke my webbrowsers date input / datepicker. :( So I had to go back to the standard culture format (dein my case).The worst is when you work with dates and don’t know what is what, or when the behavior is unexpected.
Probably everyone knows about the Excel shitshow of implicitly converted values.
In SQL Server, what do you think
0000-00-00is when converted to a date, explicitly or implicitly? Well, unfortunately,yyyyMMddis a safer format thanyyyy-MM-dd.SET LANGUAGE 'us_english' SELECT CONVERT(date, '2025-12-13') --SELECT CONVERT(date, '2025-13-12') -- err SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '2025-12-13 07:00:00') --SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '2025-13-12 07:00:00') -- err SET LANGUAGE 'Deutsch' SELECT CONVERT(date, '2025-12-13') --SELECT CONVERT(date, '2025-13-12') --err --SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '2025-12-13 07:00:00') --err !! SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '2025-13-12 07:00:00')No,
yyyy-dd-MMis not a common or valid German date format. That’s usuallydd.MM.yyyy.But worst of all, it changes behavior of the date parsing between date only and date + time types.
