Date Picker not showing after selected

hi,

in my browser on win 7 machine ie8 if i test my form i can select in the date picker and choose a date, come out of that field and go back and choose another date no problem.

i tested the same page on my vista laptop ie7 and after choosing a date then come out of field and try click in it again the page scroll bar on the side froze and wont allow to go up and down, i cant choose via the date picker anymore only manually unless i refresh the page.

on both machines i had errors on page which were line 35 and line 502 bothe these lines are below but i cannot see what is wrong?

this is line 32-35 as 35 is only one symbol:

{
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
}

line 502 is :

</fieldset>

not really sure what is going on with this?

tested on xp machine with ie8 and same error line 502 "object expected"
tested on xp with firefox and no errors at all. i know that firefox is probably a better browser however the majority of users still will use ie as automatic so need it to work in ie without any issues.

many thanks

This seems to be an issue with IE and the onblur event. In Dreamweaver, click on the input field that has the data picker. You should see something like:

onblur="..

change that to:

onfocus="..


this should work on IE.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

hi dani,

went through the whole page and form and changed and i still get the problem.
also after adding that line date range i now get invalid format when i select a date. i have added onfocus to the input fields and also in the javascript data picker as it had (onblur) in it, however still same issues.

do i need to change the blur effect on this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var Client_Profile_group_First_name_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Client_Profile_group_First_name_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
</script>

this is at the bottom of the page? any help woudl be great.

thanks

Do you have a link to your form, this would help me debug the issue?

hi dani,

i will send over files in zip for you.

thanks

I was not able to test your page because i don't have all the includes, but i did see that you made the change correctly, however i just want to mention that you only needed to make this change on the Date of Birth field, you did not need to make it on all the other fields.

I did another test with my own form (using the contact from in Form Builder) and i did see the issue and changing the onblur to onfocus did resolve the issue for me and i tested with IE 7.

Try clearing your cache of your browser and see if that resolve the issue.

hi dani,

i have tried this, and just tried again. as soon as you click on the date picker it refreshes the page and stops working. also the onfocus has not stopped it from not displaying the other fields properly.

not sure where it is going wrong.

the date picker has not been changed other than uk date, and the year range which you can see from my code i sent.

thanks

even if you try to submit the form in ie8 the city part comes back asking for a city even though you select one ad the date picker once the date has been selected says invalid format.

i reckon the date picker issue is to do with WA validation, as it will be looking at the format of u.s. and possible different year range so if you could point me to where i could change that validation even then i reckon that would solve that part.

thanks

is it this part that needs changed for the invalid format error?

unction WAGetDateFormat($value, $dateFormat) {
$isUSServ = (date("n", strtotime("1/2/2006")) == 1);
$tValue = $value;
$isEuroDate = (($dateFormat && strpos($dateFormat, "[12]\\d|3[0-1]") < strpos($dateFormat, "1[0-2]|") && strpos($dateFormat, "\\w*") === false) || (!$isUSServ));
if (($isEuroDate && $isUSServ) || (!$isEuroDate && !$isUSServ)) {
$datePattn = "/(\\d*)[-\\.\\/](\\d*)[-\\.\\/](\d*)/";
preg_match($datePattn, $tValue, $tMatch);
if ($tMatch && sizeof($tMatch)) {
if ($isEuroDate) {
$value = $tMatch[2] . "/" . $tMatch[1] . "/" . $tMatch[3];
}
else {
$value = $tMatch[1] . "/" . $tMatch[2] . "/" . $tMatch[3];
}
if (strpos($tValue, " ") !== false) {
$value .= substr($tValue, strpos($tValue, " "));
}
}
}
return strtotime(preg_replace("/[\.-]/", "/", $value));
}


thanks
