Description

The solution delivered for the underlying bug is to utilise the HTML standard input methods for date and time fields. This also provides for improved accessibility.

The date and time control behaviour and appearance are handled by the browser and may be subject to improvements or adjustments by the browser developers in the future. They are expected to present the date and time in the user's preferred format, as provided by their system (e.g. Windows' settings for Regional Formats).

Microsoft have not coded for this behaviour in Internet Explorer and have no plans to do so.

In this browser, the controls will behave as below:

Example Date:
