Question

I have been playing with tables (EDITTABLE) and I am trying to change the date format on the fly from the system default (i.e. in the table).

The Documentation says I can use this:

  %VBAR% date, <size>, <initial value>, <DHTML date format> %VBAR%

So, I use something like:

%EDITTABLE{ format = "| date, 10, , YYYY-MM-DD" |" }%

It does not change the date format with or without quotes on the YYYY-MM-DD. Am I using the wrong DHTML format or it does not work?

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

I found the answer, you have to use the format %m-%d-%Y And, of course, there are many other variations of this to format the date anyway you could want.
