- bunderbunder 8y agoIf it's public facing, that's a huge concern. If it's intended for business users, particularly if on an intranet site, it's often very easy to limit the number of browsers and versions you need to support to just a handful.
- Isofarro 8y agoThe Web has been collecting dates from users in forms long before date-pickers existed.
- davvolun 8y agoThe Web has been doing lots of things poorly for a long time as well. I know I've seen some implementations of date-pickers I don't like, and more old school implementations without date pickers that were just clumsy.
- thrower123 8y agoIt's more than a little absurd that there isn't a passable date picker implemented across the major browsers. I have wasted far, far too much of my life fighting with different half-baked JS datepicker components already in my life.
- davvolun 8y agoStill better than supporting IE6.
- nostrademons 8y ago86% isn't bad, particularly considering you can easily polyfill a date-picker in the missing browsers and attach it to input[type=date] elements.
