cfcalendar date formatting

kodemonki Apr 23, 2008 2:02 PM

cfcalendar returns Tue Apr 22 00:00:00 GMT-0400 2008 but when I output dateFormat(TestDate,'mm/dd/yyyy') I get 04/22/2000

Is there a way to correctly parse that kind of timestamp?

Thanks!

<cfcalendar
width="200"
height="180"
name="TestDate"
selecteddate="#dateFormat(TestDate,'mm/dd/yyyy')#"
onchange="getURL('blog.cfm?TestDate=' + TestDate.selectedDate);">

It is correct if you live in the US- use lsdateformat() to make it european. HTHs

I know it's correct, I'm trying to figure out how to parse it, as dateFormat() doesn't seem to work.

In the meantime, I'm using Ray Camden's calendar ( http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2005/8/31/ColdFusion-101-Building-a-Calendar)

dateformat is only for outputting your dates to the public-have a look at createodbcdate() createdate()
