I ran into an interesting problem tonight while working on one of my projects that just so happens to use a little bit of the ExtJs SDK. I had dropped an Ext.form.DateField onto a regular old HTML form for a bit of polish. When I started testing I began to notice strange behaviors when leaving the field (onBlur), or even when bringing up the date selector. The date would change at random!!
After a bit of searching on the Ext forums I did find a couple of posts that indicated that this is a known issue, and that it has been fixed in the current Subversion build. In the meantime they did offer up a script you could include AFTER your Ext includes that would correct the issue in the current build (2.1). Below is a copy of that code for anyone who may be looking for it.
