Datefield issues based on locale (IE7, IE6, FF2, Opera9 / XP)

[Jarno Kelanne]

If you set locale settings of browser for example United State (en-US) and get DateField? component from feature browser you get incorrect format of locale date. More information of format of locale dates and times see attachment document (finish only).

Jouni, please check if you can fix this, we'd like to get this fixed on 4.0.2 if possible.

[Jarno Kelanne]

With locale settings of Sweden all special characters (for example ä) is replaced with ?? - marks

[Jouni Koivuviita]

The JS optimizer (the script that removes all comments and such from javascript files) most likely doesn't understand any other character set that ANSI, because it converts all foreign characters to question marks.

Should we use the old default date format for U.S. (mm/dd/yyyy)? The future recommeded default should be the ISO8601. This is easy to fix, but what is the proper default?

[Jani Laakso]

I'll handle custom_rhino.jar and jscalendar issues.

[Jani Laakso]

Fixed in [1534].

Must be verified.

[Jani Laakso]

Reopening. At least Swedish locale shows ?? characters.

[Jani Laakso]

Same with Danish, using FF 2.0.0.4 / Linux

[Jani Laakso]

Fails with Swedish, IE 7 / Win too.

It seems that calendar files are not even UTF-8.

This is an issue related to build.xml somehow.

[Jani Laakso]

Fixed in [1573].

Issue was that jscalendar lang directory files contain various different encodings, both <fixcrlf> and rhino packer had issues.
