jQuery datepicker and chrome placeholder
I am using the jQuery UI datepicker and I am also using the following code
if (!Modernizr.inputtypes.date) {
if (jQuery.isFunction(jQuery.fn.datepicker)) {
$('input[type=date]').datepicker({dateFormat: 'yyyy-mm-dd'});
}
}
the problem I am having is everything works fine in all browsers but Chrome. In Chrome when my client goes to the edit page (which contains data filled in from a database) instead of showing the date from the database in the field it instead shows the mm/dd/yyy placeholder text. When i view the source I see my database value in the value="". So my client thinks they have not filled in this field and or can't see the data they did fill in before. How can I get Chrome to not show this placeholder mm/dd/yyyy text? None of the other browser do they show the data from the value=""
