Credit goes to Michelle O'Rorke.  She had blogged about how to do this, but it didn't sink in for me the first time around.  You need to change the field display settings so that Domino will render the date into international format ("yyyy-mm-dd").  When the Dojo control processes the value in the field, it will format the date into the format using the i18n settings it detects in your browser. 

When you submit the form, Domino will be able to process the date because of the display settings for the field.  The only other thing to do is add a computed for display field that will display the date normally ("mm/dd/yyyy" for us Yanks) when a document is being read.  Here's a picture of how to do the date field settings:

I've been including dojo components in my Domino form using the following $$HTMLHead field:

However, when I change a Rich Text field to use the new "Using JavaScript control" setting, the dojo rich text area appears, but none of my other dojo controls (FilteringSelect, ComboBox, TextArea, etc.) will load.  Nice...

I've been having a fun time trying to get the dojo date picker to work.  I'm using dojo 1.1.1 that ships with Domino 8.5.

It seems that the dijit.form.DateTextBox widget won't load a date value that already exists in the document if its not in the format dojo is expecting, which is "yyyy-mm-dd".  I tried reformatting the date in the "HTML Attributes" event for the field, but the date is still cleared out by the widget:


The Dojomino dojomino.dijit.form.DateTextBox widget solves this problem, but the load time for Dojomino far from optimal.

Is there a way I can solve this problem using dojo 1.1.1?  Or this problem been resolved with a later version of dojo?  Or is there a way I can just load the one Dojomino widget I need?
