dijit.form.DateTextBox

I set up a text box in an XPage to display a Date field using dijit.form.DateTextBox. The date value displays fine when I’m editing a document (MM/dd/yyyy).

However, when I’m reading the document in the XPage, the date displays as yyyy-MM-dd.

I needed to add a custom converter so that the date entered via the widget would be saved to the back-end Notes document. I believe this is the cause behind the date appearing in the yyyy-MM-dd format in read mode. Is there anything I can do about this?

<xp:inputText id=“WeekEnding”

				value="#{document1.WeekEnding}" required="true"

				dojoType="dijit.form.DateTextBox">

				<xp:this.converter>

					<xp:convertDateTime type="date"

						pattern="yyyy-MM-dd">

					</xp:convertDateTime>

				</xp:this.converter>

				<xp:this.validators>

					<xp:validateRequired

						message="Please enter the Report Ending date">

					</xp:validateRequired>





				</xp:this.validators>

				</xp:inputText>
