Date Display

Can I suggest an additional feature for future versions of the DataGrid Class?

Currently a date is displayed in a grid as YYYY-MM-DD. This is a little foreign to UK users, at least, who normally have dates displayed as DD-MM-YYYY or something similar.

Would it be too difficult to allow users to display dates in their own specified format? Possibly allow a parameter such as:

{name: 'DueDate', type: DDTYPEDATEDD-MM-YYYY, width: 200, editable: true}

It would REALLY be useful if, when a user clicks the pen (edit) icon of a date cell, a calendar popped up to enable them to input a date.

Andy,

I suppose the way dates are displayed is just the way MySQL is configured to display dates. Because drasticgrid does nothing special for date types, so it is displayed as a string generated from MySQL.
Did you try to alter the date format in MySQL with SELECT DATE_FORMAT
Let me know,...

Hi. I have the same problem here now.
I like to format the date this way: dd.mm.yyyy

Is there a small example which show, how to do this?

Thanks
