The interface looks usually nice, but input=date is horrible to manipulate in many implementations.
On iOS choosing year/month is the rolodex interface, as slow and clunky as usual, especially if you’re flipping it for 40~60 years.
On android it moves month by month at most, so it’s even funnier to swipe for decades.
I think the type=number alternative with validation + confirmation text with the month in letters is a better choice.
- oritsnile 4y agoOn Android you can also click on the year and it should give you a grid view of years
- bouke 4y agoBut how is that easier than just tapping 4 numbers?
- Tepix 4y agoIt depends. Perhaps for blind people tapping 4 numbers isn't so easy.
- makeitdouble 4y agoThanks, I didn’t realize the year on the corner was clickable. On Pixel (android 12), it opens a scrolling list, temporarily replacing the calendar month/day view.
- Tepix 4y agoiOS has improved it's date picker which is precisely why you should use input=date in the first place. It may have accessibility (a11y) benefits, too.
