Spry validation Date form with default value error

the below spry validation form created dw cs6

 

i created html form , posted php mysql database.  1 of form lines enter date.  line using "out of box" sprytextfield data validation without modification of css or js:

 

html

<span id="sprytextfield1">

          <label for="servcomdate">starting date?</label>

          <input type="text" name="servcomdate" id="servcomdate">

          <span class="textfieldrequiredmsg">a value required.</span>

               <span class="textfieldinvalidformatmsg">invalid format.</span>

          </span>

 

<script type="text/javascript">

var sprytextfield1 = new spry.widget.validationtextfield("sprytextfield1", "date", {hint:"00/00/0000", format:"mm/dd/yyyy"});

</script>

 

on submission, form value captured via php , date format converted mysql format before entering database.

 

php

$servcomdate = date("y-m-d", strtotime($_post['servcomdate']));

 

all of above working perfectly.

 

now, have created different page html form edit information.  first, php pulls field database , converts mysql format format used in above sprytextfield created in.

 

php

$servcomdate = strftime("%m/%d/%y", strtotime($row["servcomdate"]));

 

then html form populated existing value

 

html

          <span id="sprytextfield1">

               <label for="servcomdate">if service coming soon, know when service start being offered?</label>

               <input type="text" name="servcomdate" id="servcomdate" value="<?php echo $servcomdate; ?>">

             <span class="textfieldrequiredmsg">a value required.</span>

             <span class="textfieldinvalidformatmsg">invalid format.</span>

          </span>

 

when pre-populating form existing value displays proper format in input box, shows these "errors":

 

      value required. invalid format.

 

as said above, have not changed of css or js loaded spry textfield, did not include here.

 

i doing wrong pre-populating spry textfield default value.

 

what correct have default value on spry validation date textfield?

 

thanks in advance!

make sure in edit page constructor looks like

var sprytextfield1 = new spry.widget.validationtextfield("sprytextfield1", "date", {hint:"00/00/0000", format:"mm/dd/yyyy"});

the following works fine me

<span id="sprytextfield1">

<label for="text1"></label>

<input type="text" name="text1" id="text1" value="<?php echo strftime("%m/%d/%y", strtotime($row_recordset1['userregistrationdate'])); ?>">

<span class="textfieldrequiredmsg">a value required.</span><span class="textfieldinvalidformatmsg">invalid format.</span></span>

<script type="text/javascript">

var sprytextfield1 = new spry.widget.validationtextfield("sprytextfield1", "date", {hint:"00/00/0000", validateon:["blur"], format:"mm/dd/yyyy"});

</script>
