DropdownDatePicker + value from submit

[joose@…]

DropdownDatepicker? should save it's value to hidden input field in rfc-format when changing the date. Also this could be configurable thing: <div dojoType="dropdowndatepicker" displayFormat="%d.%m.%y" saveFormat="RFC" or saveFormat="%m/%d/%y" .. />

[ComboBox and it''s value]

ComboBox? places (in some cases) wrong value to field named in HTML... Consider this:

<select name="foo" dojoType="combobox">
 <option value="1">aaa</option>
 <option value="2">bbb</option>
 <option value="3">ccc</option>
</select>

when form is read, foo's value is "aaa" or "bbb" or "ccc", when it should be 1,2 or 3. OF course, this behaviour should be configured behavior, because it is not wanted always. It places the "key" to foo_selected, but it's not good if we already have software to handle foo as key.

Ush, my mistake. Combobox is found from ticket #730

Basically this bug is saying that the display format of the date should be independent from the format sent over the wire, because the display format will change based on locale settings, whereas the value sent over the wire should be locale-independent.

This functionality would make life easier for the server, but it complicates the DropDownDatePicker? code. Note that the user can type in a date manually, rather than clicking the drop down; in that case the DropDownDatePicker? would need code to parse the date and convert it to RFC format.

Here is somewhat patch to fix part of this:
