You need to pass the element an ISO date. Try something like this:
$date = new Zend_Date();
$date->set($row['date'], Zend_Date::ISO_8601);
$retarr['auction_date'] = $date->getIso();
Interestingly enough, the Time picker accepts the full ISO date too, if
you're using them. Unfortunately you need to do this for every date/time
dojo field and datetime you pull out of a mysql DB, because mysql misses the
"T" in the middle - although it happily accepts an ISO date as an input, it
stores it without. Quite annoying, really.
