[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-4982) js issue causes error when invalid dates are entered

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4982?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13429114#comment-13429114 ]

----------------------------------------

Hi Christoph,
thanks for the patch. 
One thought that comes in my mind: Is it a good idea to remove wrong date inputs? It's obvious when you type "123" in the Date/Time field. But what if the user accidentally switched day and month which could also result in an exception. If we remove the wrong input field this wouldn't be noticed at all.
Is it possible to use a "custom validation" to highlight the field on a wrong input?

Many thanks
Sascha

> Reproduce: Enter "123" in a DateField. This will trigger a JS exception and the invalid value will be sent to the server on form submission, probably causing server-side exceptions in badly written backend code, resulting in really bad error messages for the user.
