The format of the date is not correct. It should be YYYY-MM-DD

Note that this is unrelated to the software. This is standard HTML functionality.

Entering date means it's waiting for a date input. If you preview and click in the input, a calendar will appear. If you set it to text it will show the date you set. What is it that you are trying to achieve?

Thank you Joe,

I know - but i need to be able to pick a date and that's why the calendar control is important on the page.
European date format is dd-mm-yyyy which is included in the datatype but not showing

Kind regards Michael

Joe,

My goal with the page:
The page will later changed to a asp page, which need to be called with parameters. So initial the page should display today as from date and add one day to today and display as todate. If submit the page calls another page with the two dates as parameter. In my case it will be asp but it could also be php.

Kind regards Michael

Pablo now i see, what you mean...

If initial value is set to 2021-12-20 it will still display as 20-12-2021 - european - strange - but that works

Thank you
