IIRC, one reason is or better graceful degradation in legacy user agents that don't support the datetime controls, and where no JavaScript based alternative available. In such cases, it's easier to get the user to enter a date in the format like YYYY-MM-DD, than it is to have them calculate and enter the number of milliseconds since the epoch. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
