Why does firefox and safare drop the last diggit in a required date field in
a form. I have a form that when completed stores the information in sql and I
needed to store the date in YYYY-MM-DD format so I found a javascript that
forces the user to use the correct format. What happens is the user enters
YYYY/MM/DD and when submit or going to another field the date is YYYY/MM/D I
might mention in explore it works fine.
HERE THE SCRIPT I USED.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
