I have be looking around for a solution for this but cant find anything. I am trying to reformat the date and time entered into a form, ideally with jQuery. I am not using the datepicker.
I am trying to rewrite dates so they come out in the format “dd/mm/yyyy” so if the user enters “050812”, “05082012”, “05-08-2012” etc the date gets rewtirred to “dd/mm/yyyy”. I am also trying to achieve this with time fields so the format will be “hh:mm”.
What would be the best way to achieve this?
Thank you
As @eicto said, datepicker is the best option.
But if you really want another way:
To show the to the user what’s the right way to enter data: http://jsfiddle.net/bmSPs/1/
To mask the input: http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/
OBS: If you want a more powerful way to control the hour you could also use http://keith-wood.name/timeEntry.html
