altFormat

[Alex Mourer]

Does mobiscroll support an altfield function similar to jQuery Datepicker's altFormat? http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-altFormat

My end goal is to have the user select and see one date format but an alternate format is sent as the real value.

Hi Alex,

As I see you got your answer on the google groups, is that right?

Cheers,

Istvan

Not quite. I think your example here is getting me on the right track but doesn't really accomplish what I'm trying to do.

$('#test').scroller( {

      preset:            'date',
      mode:             'clickpick',

      dateFormat:    'yy-mm-dd',
      dateOrder:      'yymmdd',
      headerText: function(d) {
          return $.scroller.formatDate('d MM yy', $(this).scroller('getDate'));
      }
   });​

I don't want my user to ever see my secondary date/time format. If possible I'd like to populate a hidden input field with the secondary format.

Hi Alex,

You can do that in the onSelect function:

$('#test').mobiscroll().date({
      mode: 'clickpick',
      dateFormat: 'd MM yy',
      dateOrder: 'yymmdd',
      onSelect: function(valueText, inst) {
          $('#hidenfield').val($.mobiscroll.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', inst.getDate()));
      }
 });

Regards,
Istvan
