As I understand this this would be Web Controls 1.0? But WC1 is not in a very good shape right now. I hope it's getting somewhere when WF2 is ready. CSS-property "date-format:" inherit | short | medium | long defaults to "medium" Display a date in short, medium or long manner according to the UAs locale. And for the more ambituos :-) CSS-property "date-style" (or "calendar-type"): inherit | sun | moon | hebrew | japanese | <...> Masi
