dateFormat with timezone - Ext JS

# 2 03-02-2007, 02:05 PM

Eliminating the complexity of the grid and default renderers, can you confirm this behavior when using the Extified Date object by itself?

# 3 03-02-2007, 04:00 PM

var date = Date.parseDate('2007-03-02T15:00:00+01:00', 'Y-m-d\\TH:i:sO');

Returns null

var date = Date.parseDate('2007-03-02 15:00:00+01:00', 'Y-m-d H:i:sO');

Returns null

var date = Date.parseDate('2007-03-02 15:00:00', 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
alert(date);

Returns "Fri Mar 2 15:00:00 UTC+0100 2007"

var date = Date.parseDate('2007-03-02 15:00:00', 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
alert(date.getGMTOffset());

Returns "+-100"

Doesn't it look weird?

# 4 03-03-2007, 04:04 PM

var date = Date.parseDate('2007-03-02T15:00:00+01:00', 'Y-m-d\\TH:iO');

You have a colon in your timezone info which is not supported. It should be:

2007-03-02T15:00:00+0100

I can look at adding support for it (since I think that's how ISO does it?). Would it be easier for you to remove the colon?

Sure I can remove the colon; I just read some ISO 8601 docs and what I did with the colon is the 'extended' format, where the 'basic' format does not have a colon. This doesn't bother me for now...

However...
It now outputs the dates... except that if my server-generated date/time is:

"2006-09-09T22:56:08 +0100"

then it says

"Sat Sep 09 2006 22:56:08 GMT +0200"

in the grid. Notice the timezone!

I will do some digging.

Jack I just tried to output this date/time on my server to two different fields:

"2006-09-09T22:56:08 +0100"

and when renderen in the columns it shows:

"Sat Sep 09 2006 22:56:08 GMT +0200"
"Sat Sep 09 2006 22:56:08 GMT +0100"

in the grid. Notice the timezone! This is the case for all records down the grid... +0200 in the first column and +0100 in the second.
