Hi,

The native date input (input type="date"), will take a string value as input if formatted as yyyy-mm-dd (e.g. '2021-09-06').

html dateInput5 on: #startDate of: self contract; id: 'startDate'; step: 1; title: 'Start Date'; value: self contrato startDate yyyymmdd; required.

Best regards,

Esteban A. Maringolo

Regarding dateInput5 in Seaside. How a previously initialized date can be displayed in the form's dateInput5 widget. I use a pre-initialized date type value that is a property of the object to render on the form.

html label for: 'startDate'; with: 'Start Date: '. html dateInput5 on: #startDate of: self contract; id: 'startDate'; step: 1; title: 'Start Date'; value: self contrato startDate; required.

Widget don't render date initialized. I can't get it to show up.

Thanks, Oswall

Hi,

You can check an example in WAHtml5InputTest

html dateInput5 on: #startDate of: self contract

…should be enough because #on:of: sends #value: itself

However, you should check to send a date in the correct format. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date There is no built-in conversion from a Date instance to a String. This needs to be handled by your code.

Hope this helps Johan
