The journey of the HTML date input control

Implementing an HTML datetime input control in 2012


Before the advent of the wonderful HTML5 date control it was necessary to implement a lot of custom javascript to do something similar.
The cbframe datetime control was built in 2011-2012 before the introduction of the "class" keyword to the language and before any Javascript Frameworks like JQuery, Angular, React etc.
It still works and for some situations, is still better....

Feature Requests implemented in the cbframe control which are not in the W3C Spec or not yet supported

Bug reports submitted to the Mozilla developers as the date input was first implemented in Firefox
