Question

I just upgraded an ASP.Net MVC application to MVC-4. The field editor for inputs based on DateTime values now include\'s the HTML-5 type="date" attrib

Answer 1

In chrome to set the value you need to do YYYY-MM-DD i guess because this worked : http://jsfiddle.net/HudMe/6/

So to make it work you need to set the date as 2012-10-01
