I feel fairly certain that either your format pattern is wrong or is not translated properly by my code or the calendar. I have only seen this when the NSTimestampFormatter and the calendar did not agree on the format. What are you using for a format?

I've tried binding both "%m/%d/%Y" and "MM/dd/yyyy" to format. I've also used a NSTimestampFormatter("%m/%d/%Y") instance bound to formatter. It won't take a SimpleTextFormat but I tried that too. I don't *think* it's a problem with the format and the .java on your component looks good to me. I think it's in the calendar javascript.

[SOLVED] Or at least identified. It's the slash character it doesn't like. I just tried with no formatter/format and again then with space and/or dash delimiters and it worked fine. I'm guessing a regex issue in string_to_date(s).


Worse, it seems that string_to_date only handle three hard coded formates fully correctly:
    // ISO date format 'yyyy-mm-dd'.
    // 'd mmmm yyyy' format and abbreviations.
    // 'd/m/yyyy' format and abbreviations.

Dates.  Grumble.
