Date selectors are intended to make data entry easier on the front end while allowing only valid date selections, but you can't really rely on them. * Most date selectors rely on Javascript, which may not be available on the client. * From a usability perspective, using a date selector is slower than typing the date into a text field. Accessibility is also a concern. * Above all, your code should still validate the correctness of input on the server regardless of anything you are doing to make things easier in the client. There are ways around using date selectors. Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
