Year selection in Data Management Forms

Posted on 09/03/2011 11:26:39

On my dynamicweb site I use the “Data Management - Forms” module which creates a form based on a table in the Database. In my table I use an date field (birthdate), in my form I signed this field as an date-type and in my page you can see an date selector(3 selectlists for day, month and year).

But now my question: The year only goes back to 1990 so people who are born before that cannot fill in their birthdate. I hope this is just some configuration somewhere but I haven’t found it yet.

Can anyone tell me where to change this?

Regards,
Tom

The system starts dates from 1990... Only way to change it is using a javascript....

Just made a bug item so that the select will start from 1900

I fixed it by using jQuery (assuming javascript is enabled)

 $(document).ready(function(){
        var d = new Date();
        $('#Birthdate_year').empty()
 
        //add options
        for (var i = d.getFullYear(); i >= 1900; i--) {
            $('#Birthdate_year').prepend(''+i+''); 
        }
 
        //reinit calendar
        Calendar.setup({
          inputField: "Birthdate_calendar",
          ifFormat: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M",
          onUpdate: function(cal){Calendar.onUpdateDW(cal, "Birthdate", true); }, button: "Birthdate_calendar_btn",
          range: [1900, d.getFullYear()]
        });
});
