A user is filling in his birthdate through my WebApp as 15/07/1978.

In my DBISAM table the date is stored as 14/07/1978.

My formatsettings in the ONCREATE are

FormatSettings.DateSeparator:='/';
FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat:='dd/MM/yyyy';

Is this a bug?

The USA is on a holiday today (as is the UK coincidentally), so I guess
Time will respond Tuesday.
It may be worth checking out the Javascript generated to see if there is
anything of note, but I think there were known issues with that code that
are fixed in the next update.

Yes, it appears to be an issue with converting the date/times back and forth
to UTC/GMT time.  I'll know more once I fix the issue.

Paul,

It turns out that the issue is related to how the EWB runtime is creating
the client-side dates on the browser.  There are some trailing time elements
involved that are causing the TDateTime on the server side to modify the
date portion when it converts the date time from GMT to local during the
database modifications.

This is fixed in 1.02.

Thanks,

This is fixed in 1.02 in case the date is filled in by the user.
On the other hand the problem remains when doing:

with logboek1 do
      begin
      open;
      logboek1.Insert;
      ,,, adding values,,,
      Columns['Aktiedatum'].asdatetime:=date;
      Save;
      end;

When I look at "Aktiedatum" in my backoffice App the date shown today is 02/06/2013 instead off 03/06/2013...

Okay, I'll see what's going on with that.

I think, I have a related problem.

My Delphi Http server prepares Json data for a TDataSet.LoadRows().
The datetime columns I set like this

Result := MilliSecondsBetween(myDateTime, EncodeDate(1970, 1, 1);

But in the EWB TGrid, all values are shown one hour more:

23. Mar 2013 - 10:33:21 is sown as 23. Mar 2013 - 11:33:21

My timezone is UTC+1, so I think, EWB treats datetimes in a dataset as
UTC datetimes.

So I'm not sure, if values for datetime columns in Json data always
should be UTC or if something in EWB is wrong.

I looked at WebCore and WebData but I'm not 100% sure about what is
correct.

You're going to need to convert MyDateTime from local to UTC (including DST)
before doing this calculation.  On the EWB side, EWB simply uses a local
representation for DateToStr(), etc. so that the user sees their correct
local date/time.

Yes, that is correct.
