Question

I am pretty new to mobile stuff, jquery… Here is the situation I
have an asp.net page, and I am using jquery mobile. Everything is
going well. I am trying to get mobiscroll date/time selector to work the way I want. I
have the mobiscroll selector able to populate the textbox field, and I
then use this value to update the database. All is well

When I try to update the data through the same form I run into
problems. I can query the database, and populate the form items with
the appropiate date/time stored in the database, but when I click
into the date/time textbox, the mobiscroll selector shows todays date,
and not the date that was poplulated into the textbox.

I have tried using setdate with no success, and a snippet of code that
used the beforeShow event, again with no success.

I am confused, if the mobiscroll control can open by clicking into the
textbox why wouldn’t it set the date/time if it had a value in the
textbox, or am I doing something wrong?

Can someone please clarify this for me, and show me a snippet of code
that with set the date of the mobiscroll from the textbox it is tied
too?

Per this post http://code.google.com/p/mobiscroll/issues/detail?id=44

Try changing the format of the date you are setting.

Well… it does not appear in the documentation, but you must use ‘yy’
for 4 digit, and ‘y’ for 2 digit year format in your dateFormat
option, like in the jquery UI datepicker. In your case change
‘dd.mm.yyyy’ to ‘dd.mm.yy’ and your problem is gone.
