thegerm Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hi, A web site that I use frequently has a date input field. The site was recently updated for HTML5 and the line of code is - <tr><td><b>Updated since</b></td><td><input type="date" name="search_up" value=""> (format yyyy-mm-dd unless otherwise specified)</td></tr> The comment at the end caters for non HTML5 compliant browsers. Any way, the problem is that FF puts up a proforma of the date as do Chrome and Edge. However the FF proforma is in USA format of mm/dd/yyyy whereas for Chrome and Edge the proforma is correct at dd/mm/yyyy for my locale. I'm in Australia and my PC settings all reflect that. Does anybody know why FF does this, is there a setting somewhere or have Mozilla missed checking the locale ?? Thanks ..Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegerm Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 dsonesuk, Thank you very much for your response. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I tried both EN-GB and EN-AU at the top of the list and even each on their own. I restarted FF each time but the format remains as mm/dd/yyyy. I also cleared the cache each time, just to be sure. ..Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
