[Xsltforms-support] Date parsing fails

[Steve B. <ste...@co...>]

Hi

 

I've discovered that when dates are typed manually into an input then it
is possible to enter invalid dates which the code converts to other
valid values.  For example, the number '3' becomes 03/03/2003 and
'32/01/2011' becomes 01/02/2011.  The problem seems to lie in the method
I8N. parse which is too tolerant!  

 

Regards

Yes, I know this method for being perfectible, it is now just based on 
Javascript Date class. Contributions are welcome ;-)
