[edit] Notes
- Using more than one
fb:editor-dateresults in only the last date object being submitted in the postback. - You need to validate the data this control provides as it can generate illegal date combinations such as February 31.
- If you post back to the same page, then the previous selection does not persist (appearing as if a validation error occurred).
- You cannot apply a name attribute to this tag; otherwise, no data is returned in the postback.
- If you need more than one date selector, use fb:editor-custom and insert the markup yourself.
