Date Picker in Firefox v. 19.0 Join Form

I have applied the change-set to fix the date picker in the Chrome browser which appears to have worked fine. However This is for the Firefox browser. I am using V. 19.0 of the browser and the date picker will not display on the birth date join form. I have replicated the problem on demo.boonex.com.

Thank You

Will there be no solution for 7.0.9?

Boonex most likely will not release one.

You can try mine. It's attached.

Many many thanks deano, you saved my day! It is working again, even in events module. Thats great!

May i ask who is responsible for this? The Mozilla Dev Team? Is it a bug or why this happened? I searched in the bugzilla database but couldn't find anything related to this specific problem except somebody complaining about this here

Congratulation. Your latest update (19) has broken Jquery date pickers on websites all over the planet

If it is a bug in firefox and they fix it, will the code you provided make any trouble and has to be removed again?

It is part of the growing pains as we move towards HTML5 and CSS3.

It's not a bug in the browsers. As geek_girl mentioned, it's part of the changes all major browsers are making to support html5.

Yes its not a bug in ALL the browsers, but currently in Firefox it seems to be one. Not sure but if i understand some people right, mozilla is preparing the code to use native datepickers, which chrome, opera etc already have implemented.

Currently there is no native datepicker in firefox so nothing is displayed or pops up when you click a input field of type "date". I guess they use it in the code already but there is just none.

Anyway your code works well and disables the native datepickers for all browsers.

You can temporarily solve the problem by not using a beta version of firefox. version 19 is still a beta

Nope. Sorry. It's not a beta. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

It's the current version right from their website, and firefoxs auto update does not update to betas. It auto updated for me several days ago.

Deano, as mentioned in http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/3069 the original 7.1 fix solves also another issue with the + icon in the profile search block. Any chance to add this to your 7.0.9 patch too? Or is this the wrong place now?
