European Dates about w2ui HOT 4 CLOSED

Just finished date formats. You can download /js/w2ui.js or /js/w2ui.min.js to use it. Basically, you can use either standalone fields:

<input type="text" id="dt" value="11/5/1977"/>
<script>
    $('#dt').w2field({ type: 'date', format: 'dd/mm/yyyy' });
</script>

Or you can use it as part of the form

$('#form').w2form({ 
    name     : 'form',
    url      : 'server/post',
    fields: [
        { name: 'field_date', type: 'date', options: { format: 'Mon dd, yyyy' } },
        ...
    ]
});

Formats supported:

mm/dd/yyyy
mm-dd-yyyy
dd/mm/yyyy
dd-mm-yyyy
Mon dd, yyyy

from w2ui.

There is no simple thing a European dates. For example in the Netherlands you write 14/10/1963 for dd/mm/yy,
but in Germany they write it with dots (14.10.1963). So in the w2ui.js you need to add a bit more code to satisfy the Germans too:

    if (format.toLowerCase() == 'dd/mm/yyyy' || format.toLowerCase() == 'dd-mm-yyyy' || format.toLowerCase() == 'dd.mm.yyyy') {
        val = val.replace(/-/g, '/');
        val = val.replace(/\./g, '/');
        if (val.split("/").length != 3)
            return false;
        var month = val.split("/")[1];
        var day = val.split("/")[0];
        var year = val.split("/")[2];
        var obj = new Date(year, month - 1, day);
        if ((obj.getMonth() + 1 != month) || (obj.getDate() != day) || (obj.getFullYear() != year))
            return false;
        return true;
    }

Maybe it is a suggestion to add a config object to the w2ui where the date format can be set by the developer, with a method to update it dynamically at initation of w2ui. If you going to use the w2ui for f.e. Wordpress plugins you might want to use the date format from the Wordpress admin settings and then it would be nice that at initiation time of the w2ui driven admin panels you can adjust the date format that is shown to the user is in the format of the Wordpress setup of the user.

if i used date format dd/mm/yyyy on unix is oke, but on windows is bad.
if date input = 30-09-2013 on post variabel = 29-09-2013

Possibly time zone issue. As you know unix time is in GMT.
