HTML Form Elements Not Submitting Values on Safari - advanced patterns with Date Input
I've been researching this but I'm working with a peculiar scenario where an HTML form with date input elements doesn't seem to submit the values correctly when accessed on Safari (specifically version 14.1). The form has other input types like text and email, which work fine. Here’s the HTML snippet: ```html <form id="myForm"> <label for="date">Select a date:</label> <input type="date" id="date" name="date" required /> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> ``` When I try to submit the form, I see the following behavior in the console: `TypeError: Date is not a function`. I've confirmed that this is not a JavaScript scenario because I don't have any scripts modifying the form behavior. The question seems to stem from the handling of the `input[type="date"]` by Safari. I've tested this on both macOS and iOS devices, ensuring that the scenario continues across different environments. To troubleshoot, I added a simple event listener to log the form data before submission: ```javascript const form = document.getElementById('myForm'); form.addEventListener('submit', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); console.log(new FormData(form)); }); ``` This logs the form data correctly, yet the date input appears empty in the log. As a workaround, I've considered converting the date input to a standard text input, but I would prefer to maintain the native date picker functionality if possible. Has anyone encountered a similar scenario or have insights on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm open to any suggestions.
