Hi Ilkka,
bad news from the browser front:
Your proposed solution fails because the exported time string format
differs between browsers.
In every decent browser I tested (english or german versions) I have a
date string like "Wed Feb 10 2010 00:00:00 bla", while only in IE7 and
IE8 (german) I have "Wed Feb 10 00:00:00 bla 2010".
Test yourself, type this in your fav browser's URL input (and then in
your customers' company dictated browser-look-a-like):
javascript:var j = new Date(); alert(j.toString());
Although this makes parts of my body hurt, it appeared to be not such a
problem, as dealing with a native Date object would be more elegant:
var da = myDateField.getValue();
da.getFullYear() + ((da.getMonth() + 1).toString().length == 1 ? "0" :
"") + (da.getMonth() + 1).toString() + (da.getDate().toString().length
== 1 ? "0" : "") + da.getDate();
Although your using a regexp is cooler;-)
That said, after I read DateField.js, I found
this.getChildControl("textfield").getValue()
seems to return exactly what I need.
Still, if some qooxdoo gooroo(TM) knows another, official way, or anyone
just wanna approve the solution above, I'd be curious to listen.
Greetings,
Stefan
