Finally, for some applications I have made an AJAX (javascript +
PHP) implementation which provides feedback to the user as they type
in the date field: every time a character is typed in the box, the
backend is asked to parse it and then format it in an unambiguous
way and send it back to the client. That way the user can *see* if
what they are typing is valid...
Of course, you *still* have to validate it when it's posted (and the
network overhead might be too much).
That would be interesting to see.
With a little work, I envision a way to alleviate the Europe/US date
format difference. (i.e., day/month/year : Europe vs month/day/year :
US).
As the user typed in the date, the day/month problem could be shown
via string-month (i.e., Jan... ).
How does yours work?
