Input type - Date set value in html

[Sadiq]

Hi,

I am dynamically adding controls by building the HTML and then inserting it. I need to insert a date input box with a value already selected

strHTML ='<input type="date" id="' + val["ID"] + '" name="Date-' +val["Description"]+ '" datatype="date" att="' + val["ID"] +'" onblur="doneEditing(this)" value ="' + val["value"]+ '"/>';

 val["value"] is a valid date string.  

What should I do to get this working? 

Thank you.

Hi Sadiq,

Please make sure that the date string is in the right format - according to the HTML5 date input specification value attribute expects "yyyy-mm-dd"  format. For example:

<input type="date" value="2012-03-22" />
