Question

I am trying to open a form having a DateTextField which must be populated with record from database. And I am having no luck of doing it. I already test my code this way :

dijit.byId("jurnal_date").attr("value", new Date(2011,1,1))

Just to test the basic way of setting a DateTextField. But the value won’t get entered into DateTextField. What did I do wrong? Here is the DateTextField declaration:

<input type="text" name="jurnal_date" id="jurnal_date" required="true" dojotype="dijit.form.DateTextBox" />

Thanks!

Ah, I just resolved my own problem. Here is the answer :

newJournalDialog.show();
dijit.byId("jurnal_date").attr("value",dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString(jurnal.date))

So, we can only set the value of a DateTextField, after its dialog/form is shown.
Well, this is my conclusion after solving this problem 🙂

Thanks.
