Title:
javascript toLocaleDateString output format YY-MM-YYYY
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx
package: firefox : Firefox 3.6.16
Locale: Lang en_CA
echo $LANG en_CA.utf8
echo $LANGUAGE en_CA:en_GB:en_IE: ...
no overrides in /etc/environment
A sample javascript generated calendar was displaying all of the day numbers as '11'. Some testing with a range of dates shows that the toLocaleDateString() method is showing all dates in YY-MM-YYYY format. Other date formating methods: toDateStriing, toLocaleString, toUTCString give correct results.
*probably* this is a problem with the default locale settings, but I do not know how to find out what 'package' that is, or how to use an alternate path (outside firefox) to verify that. All of the other ubuntu date text that I can 'see' are correct, but [from formatting] appear to be using one of the other locale specific methods and formats
