I am displaying the datetime values in a readonly textbox(type="text") and it is rendered correctly. But when I try to save it, HTML5 highlights the textbox border which I think means that it has failed HTML5 date validation. Is it because of the format? If it is then how to change the format?. The other option, if possible, could be to disable the default html5 validation but I am curious to know its behaviour. The server side code is below:
<div class="panel-body in">
<fieldset class="scheduler-border">
<div class="form-group form-group-textarea">
<div class="col-sm-4">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.LastUpdatedImage, new { @class = "control-label" })
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.LastUpdatedImage, new { @class = "form-control", @readonly = "readonly" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group form-group-textarea">
<div class="col-sm-4">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.LastUpdated, new { @class = "control-label" })
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.LastUpdated, new { @class = "form-control", @readonly = "readonly" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group form-group-textarea">
<div class="col-sm-4">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.LastPrinted, new { @class = "control-label" })
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.LastPrinted, new { @class = "form-control", @readonly = "readonly" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group form-group-textarea">
<div class="col-sm-4">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.LastExported, new { @class = "control-label" })
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.LastExported, new { @class = "form-control", @readonly = "readonly" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<input type="button" onclick="javascript:GetPropertySummaryDetails(@PropertyCode);" name="ShowSummary" id="ShowSummary" class="btn btn-primary" value="Export" />
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
The html which is generated for one of the textbox is:
<input class="form-control input-validation-error" data-val="true" data-val-date="The field Images Updated must be a date." data-val-required="The Images Updated field is required." id="LastUpdatedImage" name="LastUpdatedImage" readonly="readonly" type="text" value="21/05/2015 15:51:49">
