I’m developing a webapp for iPad and i got stuck on something that should be pretty basic.
I have a form with a datetime input which can be edited but it’s supposed to show a default value. I tried using the followin tag

<input type="datetime" id="xyz" name="xyz" value="1996-12-19T16:39:57" />

no default value shown, picker works fine, and if edited everything is fine, just not showing the default value I’m setting.
If I use this instead (which of course I can’t use…) everything works perfectly and the default value is regularly shown

<input type="date" id="xyz" name="xyz" value="1996-12-19" />

I tried changing the date format in many ways, as suggested by various articles I found on the web, no luck…

    After a day search I found the solution while looking for something else (!!!)
    Future reference for whoever gets stuck on this like me, the correct format on iOS for DATETIME input type is

    yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ

    and remember that it the date is GMT+0 (mine was off 2 hours)

    hope it helps
