Description

On Safari, Date.parse(at.replace(/-/g, '/')) results in NaN if at is s.th. like "2017-Oct-01 12:34:56"
Date.parse() expects "Oct 01, 2017 12:34:56"

Attached patch is suggested for latest git checkout

Maybe it would be better to dump the date in seconds since epoch as data-time attribute in the cell.

HTML5 provides <time> tag, but we'd like to work with (some) older browsers, too.

Does Safari support a simplified ISO 8601 format? e.g. Date.parse("2017-Oct-01 12:34:56") or Date.parse("2017-Oct-01T12:34:56") ?

[edit: the above examples I gave are not ISO 8601 since they use "Oct" instead of "10"]

... Seems like many people recommend a custom date parse routine rather than using Date.parse().

I like @stbuehler suggestion to use custom cell attribute data-time and to sort on that. Using an HTML-compliant custom attribute should be compatible with existing behavior.

Please see the attached patch. It uses a data-time attribute. mod_dirlist.c from lighttpd2 uses an attribute named "val" for this.

Please use the .patch extension for files including patches.

Is the hasAttribute check really necessary? Can we check the return value of getAttribute instead?

Actions #6

Updated by fjo about 7 years ago

Yes, i meant it as a safety measure and to avoid an if-statement within "else if (sort_column == date_column) {".
