Plus its a completely useless client side check which needs to be repeated server-side as well if you want any assurance that validation was successful.

As a matter of habit, I do not use the cfinput tags for validation however the few times I've reviewed or modified code from other developers who validate dates this way, this is the behavior I have seen.

In general, when I'm checking the date on the submit, I format it anyway.....

Thanks,

Yes, but the big question is why cffrom cfinput would send date in that format. Its not the first time I have i used cfinput. Date usually comes across in standard date format.

Anyone???

Hi,

I noticed this in my form submission and dont know why cfinput with validation would show date as {d '2009-02-12'} whereas regular input would show same value as 02/12/2009 . See code below :

<cfloop from="1" to="10" index="thisrow">

<cfinput type="text" name="absence_date#thisrow#" size="10" value="" validate="date" validateat="onBlur,onSubmit,onServer" message="You have entered an invalid date. Date's should be in this format MM/DD/ YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY.">

<input type="text" name="absence_date_txtbox_#thisrow#" size="10" value="">

</cfloop>

so in this form, i entered 02/12/2009 in both the textboxes and i get weird output.

Any ideas??? I am I missing something obvious here???
